Tennis offers children a wide range of benefits, not only physically, but also psychologically and socially. In these early stages, play is a key part of the learning process and the common thread that gradually helps shape their character and personality. Through tennis, children learn the value of effort, self-improvement, and how to manage their relationships with teammates, opponents, and coaches based on respect, empathy, and emotional control
Our Starter Tennis Program is designed for our youngest players, who are just starting to get familiar with the game of tennis. Thanks to the great weather in the Maresme area, it is also an ideal after-school activity for young children.
At this stage, the main goal is to develop the technique behind the basic strokes of the game, so they can gradually internalise and automate them over time. Fun plays a key role in these early learning stages, which is why training sessions are based on a wide range of playful sports activities.
These are group classes, with special attention given to motor skills development, where boys and girls learn in a fun and enjoyable environment while gradually building a love for tennis.
Our Weekend Starter Tennis Program takes place on Saturday mornings, with training sessions mainly organised according to the age of the young players.
Private lessons are also available on request, offering the chance to work on stroke technique in a more individualised way and according to each player’s specific goals.

This is a very common question. Playing sport is essential, and the earlier we help children build healthy sporting habits, the better. That said, it also depends on each child’s coordination, motor skills, and overall ability.
From around the age of 3 or 4, children may already have developed enough basic movement skills to start getting into tennis. It is also true that, for years now, brands have been offering junior rackets in different sizes, adapted to each child’s height, making it easier for them to enjoy the game and hit the ball cleanly and safely. At the same time, fun is a key part of learning at this age, so it is important to make sure children are enjoying themselves and taking part alongside other kids their age.
Tennis is a very complete sport in which children develop not only physically, but also psychologically, helping to shape their personality and strengthen their cognitive skills. At the same time, because tennis is such a mental sport, young players begin learning from a very early age how to think, make decisions, and later on, how to read matches and understand their opponents. In short, they learn to develop their emotional intelligence.
At these early ages, the Mini Tennis programmes at MBA Tennis Academy are focused on developing the technique behind the game’s basic strokes, so that children can gradually internalise and automate them over time. Through mini tennis sessions and dynamic games, they learn to coordinate their movements, judge distances, and build confidence right from the start.
Esta suele ser una pregunta muy habitual: hacer deporte es necesario y cuanto antes ayudemos a instaurar en los más pequeños de la casa una buena rutina deportiva, mucho mejor. Pero también es verdad que dependerá de la destreza, coordinación y habilidades de cada niño.
A partir de los 3 o 4 años, el niño ya puede tener una cierta capacidad locomotora que le permita iniciarse en la práctica del tenis. Es cierto también que desde hace años, las marcas ya ponen a disposición de los más pequeños, raquetas de diferentes tamaños, adecuados para su altura, que facilitan que se puedan divertir y puedan golpear la bola de una forma limpia y segura. Por otro lado, la diversión es un componente fundamental a estas edades y hemos de asegurarnos de que el niño lo pasa bien y disfruta de la actividad con sus iguales.
El tenis es un deporte muy completo donde el niño desarrolla aspectos físicos y también psicológicos que contribuyen a la formación su personalidad y de sus capacidades cognitivas. A la vez, al tratarse de un deporte muy mental, el joven jugador aprende desde muy temprano a pensar, a tomar decisiones y más adelante, a interpretar los partidos y a sus rivales. En definitiva aprende a desarrollar su inteligencia emocional.
En estas edades más tempranas, los Programas de la Escuela Base de MBA Tennis Academy están enfocados a fomentar la técnica de los golpes básicos del juego, con el fin de interiorizarlos y mecanizarlos de manera paulatina. Mediante sesiones de mini-tenis y juegos dinámicos aprenden a coordinar sus movimientos, a medir distancias y a ganar confianza desde el principio.
