The Mighty Mites program is our introductory clinic for children between 4 and 6 years old. Classes are held on our unique pee-wee courts. Several class times are available. Each 45-minute class incorporates hand-eye coordination drills, basic stroke techniques, knowledge of the game, and tons of fun.

The requirements on the skill test are as follows:

  • Ability to hit forehands & backhands.
  • Ability to throw a ball over the net (6 out of 10).
