Sportsmanship

Super Fun, Teamwork, Always Try, and Respect are at the heart of every class, helping kids learn, grow, and thrive.

Super fun

Whether we win or lose, the most important thing is that we have not just fun, but super fun!

Teamwork

In our classes, there are no losers. 
We play together as one team, supporting each other every step of the way.

Always try

Each time we practice, we get 
a little bit better. Let's aim to give our best effort each time.

Respect

We show respect to our teammates, coaches, and opponents, no matter what.

From our families

Because of you all, Xavier's confidence is improving, he is making friends, trying new things, and he's able to relay information to us about what happened during camp. He loves being with all of you and that is the best thing a parent/guardian can hope for when introducing something new into our routine. You all are inspiring and giving me life right now. !

My son had a great time at the Sports Explorers camp! He was super excited to go to camp each day and told me he wants to do the camp again next summer! The coaches were professional and great with the kids.
Kim
4th grade parent, San Francisco
ANTS coaches really know how to connect with kids and make sports fun and dynamic! I would recommend even for "non-sporty" kids - maybe especially for "non-sporty" kids since they have so much fun while learning tennis basics at the same time.
Taylor
3rd grade parent, Oakland
My daughter has really progressed over the last six months with ANTS. She has gone from not being able to hit a ball to rallying and having FUN. Coach Will is a positive guide to a new sport and is really inclusive for all skill levels! My daughter now identifies as a tennis player and wants to continue playing!
Matt
1st grade parent, Oakland
My 6 year old son attended ANTS Sports camp this Summer (2023) and loved it! Initially we signed up for half day camp, but ended up switching to full days because he was having so much fun. ANTS Sports coaches were kind, welcoming, and seemed to love being with the kids. My only regret is not signing up for more works this summer, we will make a change next year. Highly recommend.

The coaches are nice and professional. Kids had a variety of sports. My son had a lot of fun and he loved ANTS Sport!
Yi-Ching
4th grade parent, San Francisco
The coaches are brilliant- they make up fun games so the kids don't even realize that they're learning. They are very patient, kind and fun. I couldn't ask for a better program. My son obviously loves it!
Meghan
3rd grade parent, Oakland
My 6 year old enjoyed tennis lessons with ANTS. The coaches do a great job of teaching skills while keeping it fun and changing up activities frequently
Caroline
1st grade parent, Oakland
I cannot recommend ANTS sports enough for your child. All the kids loved the different coaches they had and would sign up again in a heartbeat. Don't hesitate with ANTS. Highly recommend!
Rosa
K grade parent, Oakland
Our daughter had a wonderful week with ANTS Sports. The coaches made a variety of sports fun and accessible for a six-year old. The week of camp struck just the right balance between skill-building and plain ol' fun. Thank you!
Lauren
1st grade parent, San Francisco
My unsporty daughter loved ANTS camp. She was a little afraid on the first day but Coach Lauren and Coach Daisy made her feel comfortable right off the bat. She made some great friends and signed up for classes during the school year!
