Tennis for children under 14 years old, at INATEL, will be resumed and registrations are open!

Portuguese

After the experience of a full season, it was clear that the special challenges for development of young athletes, requires a new model for better quality and long-term sustainability.

This new model is based on the following:

  • Instruction led by a fully dedicated tennis professional.
  • Enrolment implies payment of a monthly fee, per athlete, to fund the tennis professional, some teaching aids and consumables.
  • Accepted age range for enrolment is from 6 to 14 years old.
  • Fee is set at 25€ per athlete, per month, paid in advance until the 8th of each month.
  • Requires commitment by athletes for a minimum of 3 months (ideally for a full season).
  • Monthly fees are always paid in full, and missed practices due to rain are compensated later and may be done in out-of-court tennis related activity (for ex: physical conditioning, coordination, speed, etc.).
  • Sessions typically accept up of 6 athletes, implying a waiting list until : a) more court time can be secured on a regular basis and b) a minimum number of athletes are available to justify and fund the new time slot.
  • Each session has a 50 minute duration.

Sessions are scheduled to start on November 13th (subject to confirmation), from 09:00am to 11:00am (two sessions).

For athletes (and Parents) already registered in the tennis digital platform (Stack TeamApp) enrolment is done by filling the same survey below indicating if they accept the new model and payment of the fee per child.

Any other athletes under 14 wishing to start practicing will need to fill out a form: https://forms.gle/eiZmPRkeG5af6Emb6.

Placement is not guaranteed and subject to availability or placement into a waiting list.
