BBT YOUTH TENNIS PROGRAM

Tennis is a sport that gets kids moving, improves balance, agility and hand-eye coordination, and can teach self-confidence and self-assurance.

Our 2023 Youth Tennis Program is once again run by tennis coaches that grew up at BBT. Led by Head Coach Jake New, he is assisted by Michael Farley, Owen Rottman, and Joseph McDougal.

Belair Bath & Tennis provides two weeks of FREE youth tennis lessons as part of your pool membership. Come join the fun! 

QUICKSTART TENNIS METHOD FOR KIDS

BBT Youth Tennis instructs using the QuickStart method which is a new format to help children learn and play the game of tennis. With QuickStart Tennis, It’s easier than ever to get in the game.

•      Your child will enjoy playing with balls that bounce lower and move slower through the air, making them easier to hit.
•      Racquets are sized for small hands, making them easier to grip and swing.
•      Courts are smaller, so kids can cover them and have more success when they play.
•      Kids have more fun and want to play more often.
•      Your child can make new friends in a safe, supportive environment.

YOUTH TENNIS TEAM

We are proud to be the home of the largest Tennis Team in Bowie! At BBT, our youth tennis team is for kids with a love for tennis to come and hone their skills further. As opposed to lessons, we focus our instruction on building off of a base skill set that is already in place to further refine technique. Players on the team attend practice and tennis meets with nearby pools. Tennis team is a fun experience which gives players extra tennis practice while also placing them in competitive scenarios amongst each other.
