The Tiny Tykes program is designed for children ages 4 & 5 in the current year. The Tykes program is for children ages 6,7, & 8 both groups focus on building skills using the 1/2 court. The more advanced Tykes will progess to the 3/4 court. Novice players will focus on 3/4 court with low compression balls.
