We have a thriving Junior Section at the club, accommodating players from 5-17 years of age.
There are four stages of LTA Mini Tennis; Tots, Red, Orange and Green. This tailored approach enables players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age.
All of our Junior programmes follow the LTA traffic light system which ensures that all children are given the opportunity to progress steadily at a speed that suits their ability.
 | Red ball mini tennis is for players aged 8 and under. It is played on smaller courts with shorter rackets and softer balls. It’s just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots. |
 | An orange ball is used. It has a low compression that makes it bounce lower, giving the player better control at an important stage of their development. |
 | Green ball is the next step after orange ball mini tennis. It is played on a full tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls that are a little softer than yellow balls. |
 | Yellow ball competition is for players aged 11 and over. It is played on a full tennis court, with full size rackets and full compression yellow balls. It’s the last stage of your tennis development and the technique and skills that you have developed through the stages of mini tennis can now be put into practice. |
