Tiger Tennis Academy where beginners play
Together we will make Tennis a safe sport
Lessons Available in Queens and Nassau County
At the Tiger Tennis Academy our specialty are beginners. We are the Academy where beginners play. Our goal is to make your child successful as quick as possible. We notice after just 4 or 5 group lessons that children 5 and 6 years old start to make contact with the ball and start hitting the ball back with a partner and the thrill in their eyes is just amazing. A great reason why the children are successful is our staff. If you have any questions about our lessons, facilities instructors or policies, please check out our FAQ page.

We couldn't be more happy with our experience at Tiger Tennis. My son never picked up a racket before starting lessons;... the coaches patiently worked with him, building his confidence, skills and love of the sport. And Walter, who runs the Academy, is not only super knowledgeable and professional, but always responds to questions promptly and is very accommodating. Tiger Tennis is excellent beginner program.read more

My name is Wesley, a Tennis coach from Ireland 🇮🇪 , I have known about Tiger Tennis and Walter for some time, I was... lucky to of been involved for a couple of weeks in 2016. I found Tigers first approach ( like mine ) is to provide a positive and happy experience of any kid who comes through the gates, after that it's about learning the correct way to play but in a way they fall in love with game too, it's about enthusiasm, passion and fun. It's not about performance from the start, it's about fun, learning the right way and most importantly, building the kids CONFIDENCE, this is Tiger, best to Tiger Tennis and Walterread more

My daughter at first didn't know much about tennis but from the first lesson she loved it and tiger tennis played a... good part in it. The coach is patient and engaging . The classes are kept small which is a plus. Now my daughter wants to practice at home, inquires about tennis players, watches tournaments at times..it is without a doubt the place to be if you wish to learn regardless of your comfort level. Thanks Tiger Tennis Academy !!read more
