Coaching
Tots Tennis
Age: 5 & Under
Description: Tots Tennis is for children aged 3 to 5 years old and enables them to learn the basics and how to enjoy the game through a series of fun activities based on the fundamental areas of balance, co-ordination, agility, movement and racket and ball skills. Tots play with sponge balls and 19 or 21 inch rackets and the focus is about making it as much fun as possible.
Mini Reds (Ages 5-8)
Age: 8 & Under
Description: Mini Tennis Red is for players aged 8 and under. It is played on small courts with short rackets and soft balls. It’s just like the real game and gives players the opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shot
Mini Orange (Ages 8-9)
Age: 8 and 9
Description: Mini Tennis Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red. It is played with shorter rackets, softer balls and courts are bigger and wider than the red stage but still smaller than full size tennis courts allowing players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.
Mini Green (Ages 9-10)
Age: 10+
Description: Mini Tennis Green is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Orange. It is played on a full size tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls which are a little softer than yellow balls. It’s the next stage before moving on to compression yellow balls on a full sized court and helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game. For older players new to tennis it is a great way to get started.
