How it works

Three steps.
No clipboards.

We keep the operation simple on purpose. Find a class that fits your kid's age and your week, sign up online, and show up to the court. We'll handle the rest — rackets, balls, games, smiles, the occasional lesson in losing gracefully.

01

Pick a class near you

Filter by location, day, and age. Each class lists the coach, court, and full schedule up front so there are no surprises.

02

Sign your ninja up

Online checkout, instant confirmation, calendar invite. We email you the night before the first session with parking and what to bring.

03

Show up & play

Bring a water bottle and sneakers. We supply the racket, the balls, and the energy. Parents are welcome to watch — or take the hour to themselves.

Why we exist

I grew up wanting to play tennis. There just wasn't a program that was affordable, close to home, and built for kids my age. So I built one.

Carley Furlow

Founder & Head of Coaching

Most kids don't see a tennis racket until high school. By then, the door is mostly closed — coaches are scouting, ladders are set, and a beginner has nowhere to land. Net Ninjas is the on-ramp: low pressure, low cost, and built around the way kids actually learn. We'd rather make a hundred future players than chase a single prodigy.

The coaches

People who would rather
be on a court

Five coaches across our four locations. Most played in college or coach high school during the school year. All of them, somehow, have the patience for a six-year-old who can't stop spinning in circles.

Things parents ask

Frequently
asked.

What does my kid need to bring?

+

Just a water bottle, sneakers, and weather-appropriate clothes. We provide age-appropriate rackets, low-compression balls for younger kids, and all the practice equipment.

What happens if it rains?

+

We make the call by 2 hours before class and email all registered parents. Cancelled sessions are added to the end of the block — no class is lost.

My kid has never held a racket. Is that OK?

+

That's exactly who we're for. The vast majority of our students have never played. We teach grip, swing, and footwork through games — most kids don't realize they're learning until they're a few weeks in.

Do parents stay?

+

Up to you. The courts have benches and most parents stay; some run errands and come back. For ages 2–4, we recommend a parent or guardian within sightlines.

What's the refund policy?

+

We don't issue cash refunds, but if a class is cancelled or your child can't attend, we'll credit you toward any future Net Ninjas program.

Watch them swing

Registration is open now. Most classes cap at 8 kids per coach, so spots tend to go quickly.
