Pickleball by Euro School of Tennis (Tues)

• Grades: TK to 3rd

• Pickleball program isn’t just about the game itself; it embodies a fundamental principle underlying sportsmanship worldwide, as epitomized by the founder of the modern Olympic Games: “The essence of pickleball isn’t solely about winning, but rather about engaging fully in the game, much like the spirit of the Olympics. Victory is not the ultimate goal; rather, it’s about embracing the challenges and giving your best effort on the court. Success lies not in conquering opponents, but in playing with determination and skill.”

In our after-school pickleball program, we instill this maxim into the everyday experiences of our students on the court. While winning is gratifying, simply participating and contributing to the team are paramount in Pickleball Pursuits.

  • Tennis excellence at your school playground – We play with modified equipment (18 ft portable net) to ensure they learn at their level. We provide all equipment: smaller rackets as well as low compression red balls to help your child learn the fundamentals. Our instructors take tennis pretty seriously. We work with our students both on and off the court to help infuse the importance of hard work, responsibility, and success as well as failure into everything we do.  

  • The Court of Life – Unlike many other sports, tennis has some takeaways others cannot touch. Physically, students gain a level of endurance and coordination that carries over to other sports and daily activities. Mentally though, they learn about self discipline, integrity, and honesty in a very different classroom.

Olympic Hopes by Euro School of Tennis (Fri) **new

• Grades: TK to 3

  • “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” - Baron de Coubertin

  • This creed guides the modern Olympic games and it is the foundation of our Olympic Hopes after school program, giving kids a chance to do so much more than simply learn a new sport.

  • Sportsmanship and Teamwork: Olympic Hopes was designed to teach kids that walking on the field is the first step in any journey.  Participating, learning key teamwork skills, and working hard are what matter most in any setting and by framing our program with the Olympic Creed, our students have the opportunity to learn the true meaning behind sport of any kind.

  • A Fun Environment: In this after school program, fun is a priority.  Using modified equipment, kids get a chance to learn at their level. On the field, you’ll see endurance and coordination, as well as development of some basic athletic skills. Off the field, you’ll see self discipline, integrity, and honesty in a way you never thought possible. Sports help your kids learn so much more about themselves. Starting early means a chance to build healthy principles in those after school hours.
