Junior Tennis Comes to Velto
Little courts. Big beginnings.
After-school tennis for ages 3–8, played 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 in the city — and too big for small kids. We’re among the first ever to bring a junior tennis program into a pickleball club, giving Brooklyn’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 Velto
Velto Pickleball Club has built a beautiful, welcoming home for players in Red Hook. We’re thrilled to partner with the Velto team to bring junior tennis under their roof, pairing their great courts and community with our coaching to give Brooklyn kids a place to learn, play and love the game.
