How are the training sessions in the winter?As in summer.. the program is planned for 10 months. At the end of the cycle, some children are already able to play tennis on the mini-tennis court by themselves.

What racket size is right for my child?The best length of tennis racket depends on the height of the child. Measure the child standing with both arms at his side. Have him hold the racket so that it is pointing down. If the tip of the racquet reaches his ankle, then it's the right one! Ideally, however, consult with a trainer before purchasing.

Do you support children from the Prague 1 municipal council?We as an association do not. But the Municipal District of Prague 1, or her Prague Children's Foundation supports all children from the Prague 1 Metropolitan Municipality. So far, the amount of support we have received from the director of the Prague Children's Foundation JUDr. Dana Maršálková did not say, but the support will probably be paid retroactively and must not relate to the basic allowance. Everyone pays the same. JUDr. Dana Maršálková: prazske.deti@seznam.cz | +420 604 299 941

If I properly excuse the child, is the course fee refunded? Can an excused SHORT-TERM absence be replaced? Play the lesson another time?➤ No, the course fee is non-refundable. ➤ A duly excused absence can only be replaced with the consent of the coach with whom the child is playing. ➤ There is no right to a refund, but we try to reach an agreement especially in the case of long-term absences, e.g. by waiving the fee (entry fee) at club tournaments. ➤ However, if the student joins the course later (during the year), the parent will always pay the basic contribution (CZK 500) and the portion of the course fee that corresponds to the time period of entry into the tennis school.
