RED
RED is the second stage of the Roadmap and is further broken down into a series of sub-stages (RED5, RED10, RED15 and RED20), and while we continue to focus on elements of of Agility, Balance and Co-ordination (ABC), there is also increased focus on the racket and footwork skills required to play a complex sport like tennis.
Still using low compression balls and short courts, kids start to learn how to rally, volley and serve (simplified overarm action. They'll be introduced to relaxed competition too. Once again, a series of "Task Cards" will be used to highlight the skills that need to be demonstrated at each sub stage.
Once the task card has been completed, the player will earn a sticker for their roadmap and an achievement certificate.
A copy of the Task Card that your child is currently working on should be in their Rally Awards Roadmap Folder but links to all the Task Cards in this stage are below:
Note - only once all RED sub stages are completed will a player be ready to move on to the ORANGE stage.
