Welcome to Racquet Arcade Tennis Academy

Embarking on your tennis journey can be both exciting and daunting. At Racquet Arcade Tennis Academy, we aim to make your introduction to this dynamic sport as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Whether you're picking up a racquet for the first time or revisiting an old hobby, there’s something for everyone here.

Choosing the Right Equipment

Before you start, having the right equipment is crucial. The most important piece of gear is your racquet. When selecting a racquet, consider factors like grip size, weight, and string tension. Our academy staff can help you find a racquet that suits your skill level and playing style.

In addition to a racquet, you'll need comfortable attire and proper tennis shoes. These items ensure safety and ease of movement on the court. Don't forget to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during practice.

Understanding the Basics

Tennis is a game of skill and strategy. Here are some basic concepts to get you started:

• Scoring: Learn the unique point system: love, 15, 30, 40, and game.
• Strokes: Master the forehand, backhand, serve, and volley.
• Court Layout: Familiarize yourself with the parts of the court: baseline, service box, and net.

Joining a Beginner Class

Practice Makes Perfect

Regular practice is key to improving your tennis skills. We recommend setting aside time each week to practice what you’ve learned in class. Consider practicing with a partner to enhance your rallying skills and build confidence.
