Arthur Hicks Tennis Youth Academy
Term Dates for 2023 coming soon!
The Arthur Hicks Tennis Youth Academy (AHTYA) mission is to provide an affordable and accessible tennis experience to local children of the British Virgin Islands, ensuring every child has the opportunity to play tennis.
We believe that the AHTYA can provide children with valuable skills, both on and off the court, such as confidence, sportsmanship, and responsibility.
The Red, Orange, and Green Ball tennis programs aim to teach and develop children in the sport of tennis, at a pace that is both managable and ethical for the child's growth.
By using equipment that matches the size and strength of the player, the benefits are almost immediate, and within a short time, kids are rallying, playing matches, and developing a love for the sport.
Sign up for one of the various programs today, and experience the numerous benefits that the Arthur Hicks Tennis Academy can offer to your child!
