Notes from the coach

Mini Tennis is a fun and exciting way for young children to get into the world of tennis. It is played on small courts with short rackets and soft balls. It's just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots. There are three ball colours (red, orange, green) that get progressively more bouncy as children get more skilled. The coach will decide on the ball colour and court size for each session based, not only on age, but also on factors like how windy it is or how wet the courts are. Using a soft, light, low bouncing red ball in blustery conditions isn’t much fun!
