Client Testimonials

"My son is in kindergarten and wanted to try tennis. I found a Tennis Time Program at Mint Hill Tennis, and we have been SO PLEASED. Our Coach, Zach is super fun and absolutely wonderful with kids. He easily diverts frustration and refocuses my child on the fun of the game while simultaneously encouraging perseverance. Because of his time in the younger group, my son feels excited to move up when he turns 6 and try playing more competitively. I’m excited he had time to get used to the racket and develop some hand eye coordination before moving up. We can’t say enough positive things about Tennis Time with Mint Hill Tennis."

My son (age 3) has loved working with Coach Zach this season. They worked on following directions, tracking skills, hand eye coordination, and fostering a love of tennis. All of the skills he was introduced to and worked on will help support the foundation of many sports. The class offers age appropriate drills/activities that met each student at a place that they were comfortable with while encouraging them to take steps to make progress. Having the opportunity to have Tennis Time come to his preschool was an added bonus! We're looking forward to more seasons with Coach Zach & Tennis Time!

My 7 year old son has been working with coach Zach for the last couple of years and has really shown progress. Coach Zach makes it fun and engaging but yet doesn’t compromise the fundamentals. Recently my 4 year old has started as well and is slowly learning some key skill sets from such a young age. I would highly recommend Coach Zach to any youngsters looking to learn the game the right way!

SMART Tennis Makes
SMART Athletes.

As a parent, you want the best for your child.

You want your child to build confidence, develop healthy habits, and nurture character traits like resilience and teamwork- all while having a blast.  To achieve this, you need a tennis program that truly engages them and delivers results.

Unfortunately, many sports programs fall short, leaving you worried about whether your child is genuinely benefiting.

We can’t tell you how many parents we’ve talked to who felt hopeless about their children’s attitude towards playing a sport.

At Tennis Time Academies, we believe every child deserves an exceptional tennis experience, and we have strived for 15+ years to develop an experience that combines fundamental learning with fun & friendships.

It can be disheartening when programs lack the structure and engagement necessary for effective learning.

That’s why we offer our SMART Tennis method, crafted to provide a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience:

Here’s why SMART Tennis Makes SMART Athletes:

  • S = Strategy: Teaching game plans and decision-making skills.
  • M = Movement: Focusing on footwork and agility.
  • A = Angles: Understanding court positioning and shot placement.
  • R = Rallying: Building consistency and cooperation with others.
  • T = Technique: Developing proper form and stroke mechanics.

Experience the transformative benefits of our SMART Tennis method, and watch your child develop not only their tennis skills but also a lifelong love for the game.
