One of our main goals is to get kids away from their computers and video games and encourage them to become physically active on a regular basis.
We want to assist in the development of all-around students by motivating them to learn, develop, compete and interact with their peers.
Our programs at Total Tennis Center offers the community of Clearwater the opportunity to achieve these goals with us through one of the most beautiful sports in the world.
We have different prices depending on the number of hours the students will practice with us.
We currently have 4 different Kid programs according to age and skill.
