Junior Coaching
A great way to introduce kids to the sport -
Youth Blue (2-6yrs) - Learn The Basics
This is an introduction to tennis. Here, we’ll help kids 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.
Coming Soon
Youth Red (6-8yrs) - Serve, Rally, Score
This will look a bit more like the tennis you know. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination, balance and speed. We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too.

Youth Orange (8-9yrs) - Develop A Rounded Game
