Little Champions
Tennis Programs for the Youngest Generation
Learn, Grow, Get Stronger and Better!
About:
The tennis program “Little Champions” was created with love to children and tennis. The program was founded by a former professional and NCAA Division I player – Nataliya Naumova. By having an exposure to professional and collegiate tennis as well as years of coaching experience, Nataliya understands the importance of developing correct technical and footwork skills from the young age. The goal of the program is to develop and master skills, which will serve to your child as a strong foundation and powerful assets on a tennis court during the entire tennis career. We are inspired to instill love of learning this beautiful game of tennis to your child!
Our tennis program currently runs at Manhattan locations on the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and in SoHo. The program is designed and specialized in teaching tennis to a younger generation, children of the ages of 3 to 9 years old. We offer group sessions as well as private lessons. The groups are arranged according to age and experience. In order to a child to get a proper attention, we keep the group classes to a 4:1 student coach ratio.
