In this Stage children will improve their balance, agility and co-ordination while teaching them about the sport we love. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing, it’s just getting to grips with the basics.

Children start to practise overarm serves, volleys and learn how to rally, whilst developing their co-ordination, balance, speed and agility. Still with soft balls and small courts they'll be introduced to relaxed competition too.

Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage children will know all of the rules and will be serving and returning.

It’s time for players to play on full size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far so they are now in a position to act more independently on court.

It’s all about playing on a full size court with the same size balls the pros use. Players will continue to explore different styles on court and start to choose their own. By this point we hope children will be tennis players and fans of the game for life!
