Sanwa X Tennis Academy offers expert tennis lessons for kids in Singapore starting from age 4. Many families across Singapore consider our junior programmes among the finest in the city. We combine professional coaching expertise with an age-appropriate, fun-first approach that turns children into committed, passionate tennis players.
Starting Tennis Early Makes a Difference
Children who begin tennis young develop coordination, discipline, and competitive instincts. Furthermore, early technical instruction builds movement patterns that become natural over time. As a result, young starters find it significantly easier to reach a high level than those who begin as older juniors or adults. At Sanwa X, our coaches make this early learning experience both effective and genuinely enjoyable.
What Your Child Will Experience
From the moment your child steps onto the court at Sanwa X, they enter a safe, encouraging, and professionally managed environment. Every session runs with energy and fun at its core. Our coaches hold children’s attention, deliver technical instruction in age-appropriate ways, and create genuine enthusiasm for the sport. As a result, children leave every session wanting to come back.
Kids Tennis Programmes
Mini Tennis (Ages 4–7)
Our entry-level Kids class uses smaller courts, lower nets, and softer foam balls to make tennis perfectly scaled for young children. Children develop coordination, movement, and the foundations of technique while having enormous fun. Moreover, the smaller format builds confidence quickly and prevents frustration from struggling with full-size equipment too early.
Junior Development (Ages 7–12)
As children develop, they progress to our Junior Flower and Junior Advanced classes. Coaches gradually introduce full-size courts and standard equipment at this stage. Technical coaching becomes more structured, and coaches begin teaching tactical elements. Consequently, juniors in this group develop a well-rounded game that prepares them for competitive play.
Performance Pathway (Ages 10+)
Our Pre-Players and Players classes suit juniors who are ready to compete. These high-performance classes develop the skills, fitness, and mental strength needed to succeed at national level. In addition, our coaches draw on real ATP-level competitive experience to prepare students for the realities of tournament tennis.
Coached by Tour-Level Professionals
What sets junior coaching at Sanwa X apart is the pedigree of the coaches guiding it. The academy was founded in 2004 by Head Coach Wataru Ochi, who brings more than 25 years of coaching experience at ATP and WTA Tour level, while Director of Tennis Kento Takeuchi is a former ATP Tour professional — career-high World No. 378 and an All Japan Under-18 Champion. Your child learns the same technically precise, Japanese-influenced fundamentals these coaches honed at the professional level, introduced in an age-appropriate and encouraging way.
Character Development Through Tennis
At Sanwa X, we are deeply committed to developing children as people, not just as tennis players. Through tennis, we teach values that last a lifetime. For example, students learn respect for opponents and coaches, resilience when things go wrong, discipline and focus, and teamwork and sportsmanship. Furthermore, our coaches reinforce these values in every session, making them a natural part of how our students approach the sport and life.
A Pathway Beyond Sanwa X
For juniors who progress to a high-performance level, Sanwa X works in partnership with Coach XT and parent organisation TAG International Tennis Academy, giving talented young players access to the competition exposure and training volume needed to compete at school, national and regional level. Families who enjoy racquet sports beyond tennis can also try PickleChoo, the TAG International Group’s premier public pickleball venues — a fun way for the whole family to stay active.
