The 12-Week Founding Family ChallengeFrom Screen Time to Swing Time.
A parent-first family tennis pilot. You learn first, your child joins when ready, and Coach Amani guides your family every week — all from home, no court required to start. Online first. Confidence first. Court second.
A parent in the corner, not the standsBuilt for the parent who wants a role, not just a receipt.
This is for you if your child is roughly 7 to 14, and you'd rather build movement, confidence, and connection at home than drop them at one more lesson and hope it sticks. Best for ages 7–14; younger children may be considered based on readiness.
- ✔You want your child off the screen and into real movement.
- ✔You're willing to go first — to learn the routine and model it at home.
- ✔Your child is a reluctant or nervous beginner who needs a softer start.
This program is for committed families, not perfect families. If you just want a quick lesson and a drop-off, we're probably not the right fit — and that's okay.
In 90 days, from "get off the iPad" to "can we play?"
Most families piece this together from random YouTube videos and one weekly lesson they quit by spring. The Founding Family Challenge puts the whole parent-first system in one place — with a coach who actually sees your work and won't let you drift.
Parent first. Child next. Family routine for life.
Weeks 1–4 · The Parent
You learn the routine, the swings, and the language. You build the habit at home so movement is already in the air before your child joins.
Weeks 5–8 · The Child
You invite your child in. They watch, copy, and join on their terms — no crowd, no pressure. Small wins they can feel.
Weeks 9–12 · The Family
It becomes a rhythm. A few minutes most days, weekly feedback, and the confidence to take it to a local court — together.
Founding families get the best of everything — at the founding rate.
We're opening a small first group on purpose. Founding families get the most of Coach Amani's time, help shape the program, and lock the founding-family rate. When the pilot graduates to the full program, the rate rises — yours stays.
And let's be honest about cost. A season of private lessons runs $1,200 and ends the day it ends. A child therapist is $150 an hour. The tablet raising your kid right now feels "free" — it's quietly the most expensive thing in your house. The founding pilot is everything above, for one flat monthly rate.
Commitment Scholarship: a limited number of reduced-tuition spots are available for committed families who may need support. The scholarship reduces the cost, not the expectation — weekly uploads, communication, and follow-through.
$500/month, billed monthly across the 12-week pilot. Everything above included. Founding families lock this rate for good — it rises for the standard program.

Small wins first. The risk is mine.
"Do the 10-minute routine and send your weekly clips. If in 30 days your child isn't moving more and fighting you less, I'll personally coach your family free until they are — or refund every dollar. You can't lose. The only risk left is doing nothing."
— Coach Amani Mitchell
