| How it Works |
Learn to Play is made up of three (3) age appropriate levels. Each level takes into account the characteristics of children (both mentally and physically) to ensure that each child has fun, experiences success and is gradually introduced to a competitive environment.
Each level is designed to be delivered over a 9 week period with two (2) sessions per week. Ideal group size is 10 to 12 participants.
