Now that it’s October, we’re heading into the cooler seasons– well, as much as they can be in the Dominican Republic! While your kids are back in school, they’re still itching for some outdoor recreation and after-school activities are a must. Let them burn a few calories and rowdy energy at Casa de Campo’s Junior Tennis Academy where they’ll gain lifelong skill sets.
Apart from tennis being a great way for kids to learn teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence, it also has a number of health benefits:
Promotes bone strength
Increases aerobic capacities and reaction times
Lowers resting heart rate and body fat
Improves strength, flexibility and balance
Develops hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
Like many sports, tennis helps kids work up a sweat, but it also is a mental game, where accuracy and hitting the ball at precise angles develops mental strength and strategy. Plus, it has a complicated scoring system compared to basketball and requires staying sharp and exerting a solid memory. In Junior competitions there isn’t an umpire so tennis also teaches children to practice honesty as they’re the ones calling their opponents balls in or out. As a social sport, it widens friend circles, enhances communication and team skills, and promotes a positive, friendly attitude through hard work that is essential on and off the courts!
Inscriptions are open now for every Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday. See the flyer below for details and to sign-up. Going on now is a special price for Abraham Lincoln School students and Saint John students at just US $50. There’s no better time to learn a lifelong sport!
