ORANGE
ORANGE is the third stage of the Roadmap and is further broken down into a series of sub-stages (ORANGE5, ORANGE10, ORANGE15 and ORANGE20). There is now much greater focus on technique and tactics required to play a complex sport like tennis.
Now using low compression ORANGE balls and a bigger court, kids will continue to develop their rally, volley and serving skils but we will also include much more work on tactics, problem-solving, sportsmanship and leadership. Kids will also be encouraged to participate in simple competitions in order to enhance their skills further. 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 ORANGE sub stages are completed will a player be ready to move on to the GREEN stage.
