Specialty Classes

Match Point Tennis Academy
A program designed specifically for children ages 7-12 that involves smaller sized courts, shorter nets, kid-sized rackets and softer, less bouncy balls. This allows kids to play on courts and with gear that is tailored to their size and strength, making the game a lot more playable and fun. Our goal is to introduce kids to tennis at an early age in a non-pressure, fun environment. Many fun games are part of the curriculum to keep kids engaged and learning. Students must provide their own racquets.

HappyFeet PK
HappyFeet uses its Early Childhood-approved “Story Time with a Soccer Ball” approach in 30-minute classes. We use familiar songs, stories, nursery rhymes, and fun games to introduce soccer to children ages Pre-K - JK. Our unique curriculum triggers your child's imagination by taking their soccer ball, Bob the Bobcat, on adventures using their favorite movies and TV shows like Frozen, PJ Masks, Paw Patrol, Moana, and MORE! Our philosophy and curriculum encourages children to tame their bobcat with their learned deceptive dribbling and ball-striking skills, getting hundreds of touches on the soccer ball per class! We leverage creative play while developing important skills to hopefully make fitness and soccer their favorite sport!
