Write and Move: Sunday Kids' Club

Ages 7-9 | Creative Writing &Tennis

What is Write + Move?

Movement isn't just exercise; it changes the way we experience the world. On the court, the children will be focused, resilient and, most importantly, find joy in being active. At the studio, writing becomes an exercise for the mind. We take what we experienced and noticed and turn it into ideas and stories!

When we move our bodies, ideas move too!

  • Tennis with Coach J

    Kids will play tennis through fun games and professional guidance:

    • Basic swings and footwork

    • Rallying with partners

    • Match play with friends

    Every session builds:

    • Coordination — hand-eye skills through play

    • Confidence — from first swing to first point

    • Sportsmanship — cheering for teammates and having fun

    No experience needed. Just come ready to move and smile!

    With over 20 years of tennis experience across Italy and Korea, Coach J brings a European playing style to his teaching. A former player and coach at Tennis Club Vigna Fiorita, he has spent the last 3 years in Korea coaching players of all ages.

    Coach J specializes in developing solid foundational techniques and his patient and encouraging approach helps even the youngest beginners build confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love for the sport — all while coaching in English!

  • PANDA WINS WIMBLEDON!
    PENGUIN MAKES TENNIS HISTORY!

    All wild ideas are welcome in the newsroom as young writers learn the tools of creative nonfiction and sports journalism.

    • Headlines — Grab attention in a few words

    • Leads — Start strong and hook the reader

    • Interviews — Ask questions and use quotes

    • Profiles — Tell stories about people, athletes, or pandas!

    • Reports — Bring it all together in a real news article

  • Can my child join even though they have no experience in tennis?

    • Yes. This is a beginner friendly program and the coach will group children based on their abilities.

    Do I need to come with equipment like tennis rackets?

    • No - unless the child has their own preferred rackets, the workshop will provide all the equipment (racket and balls).

    How many children will be in the tennis workshop at once? 

    • Coach J will work with small groups with 2-4 kids
