Group Coaching Sessions

Group coaching sessions are a great way for children to improve their tennis technique quickly in a fun and engaging environment.  Our sessions run termly, and for each group there is a session at the same time each week, run by one of our coaches.  

The groups are organised according to the LTA’s Mini Tennis development framework, which is summarised here for you:

- Red Ball Tennis.  If your child is aged 8 and under, they will play on mini tennis courts with red balls that are designed to be the easiest to play with, having 25% of the bounce of a regular tennis ball.

- Orange Ball Tennis.  If your child is aged 8-9 they will play on shortened tennis courts with orange balls, that have 50% of the bounce of a regular tennis ball.

- Green Ball Tennis.  If your child is aged 9-10 they will play on full tennis courts with green balls, having 75% of the bounce of a regular tennis ball.

- Yellow Ball Tennis.  If your child is aged 11 and over, they will play on full tennis courts with adult tennis balls.

This development framework is so important as it allows the children to play against similarly skilled players both inside and outside our tennis club, always helping them to improve as quickly as possible.

An upfront termly booking is required to secure your child’s place in a coaching group.  The overall cost works out to be equivalent to just £6 per hour per child.  Please contact Coaches@bsltc.co.uk if you would like more information, have a question, or are ready to get your child involved!
