Caroline Wozniacki’s recent triumph in the Australian Open, the first grand slam title of her career, will no doubt encourage many young Danish girls to take up the sport, but in a country bereft of tennis courts, where are they supposed to learn?

Well, one new company has the answers! Super Duper Tennis thinks outside of the court to make tennis more accessible for kids to learn and play!

Learning the FUNdamentals
Launched in New York City, Super Duper Tennis has recently brought its brand of ‘street tennis’ to Copenhagen with fun-filled group tennis classes available for kids aged 3 to 11.

Super Duper Tennis classes focus on providing a safe, exciting and educational experience.

Kids learn the FUNdamentals of tennis on sized-down kids courts set up in and or on unconventional settings where kids play with smaller racquets, balls that bounce at their height and lowered nets – all to ensure early success and confidence when learning the game.

Easter break opportunity
Classes are grouped according to age and skill in low ratio settings, and kids are taught a progressive based curriculum in English by enthusiastic, experienced and passionate coaches.

Starting from April 7, Super Duper Tennis is offering group kids tennis classes (ages 3-11), both on weekdays and at the weekends, at indoor venues in Vesterbro, Osterbro and Valby, as well as a four-day Easter Break Camp (March 26-29) for kids aged 4 -11 in Valby!

Registration for our spring classes and Easter Break camp are available online at: copenhagen.superdupertennis.com.

Adult classes too
Meanwhile, adult group fitness tennis classes on the small courts are also available for beginners on Sundays in Valby! Adults will get fit to music while working on their game. Classes start on April 7!

For all inquiries, please contact Super Duper Tennis at: cph@superdupertennis.com  or 2195 1090.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
