Tennis Innovators × Pickle1
Small Courts. Big Strokes. Real Tennis.
After-school junior tennis for ages 3–8 at Pickle1 in FiDi, on pickleball courts with the perfect dimensions for young players.
A first for NYC
Keeping kids on court
Full-size tennis courts are hard to find downtown — and too big for small kids. We’re among the first ever to bring a junior tennis program into a pickleball club, giving Lower Manhattan’s youngest players a court that fits them, close to home.
Sized for small players
A pickleball court is about the size of the red-ball courts used for young players — kids can rally from day one.
Real tennis, from the start
Low-compression balls and junior racquets build proper strokes, footwork and confidence.
Coached by Tennis Innovators
Energetic, trained coaches who make every session active, fun and age-appropriate.
Our partner
Better together with Pickle1
Pickle1 has built an energetic, welcoming home for players in the Financial District. We’re excited to partner with the Pickle1 team to bring junior tennis to their courts, pairing their great space and community with our coaching to give Lower Manhattan kids a place to learn, play and love the game.
