Squads run Monday to Friday from 4 till 9pm for players of a similar ability and age.

Key points:

• Although we’ve assigned ages to each stage, this is just a guide.
• We understand kids want to play in groups and with their friends, so whatever stage they start at, all kids will see progression.
• In every LTA Youth stage, kids will be active, having fun and developing skills!

Red Stage - Serve, rally and score (Age 6-8)

This will look a bit more like the tennis you know. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination, balance and speed. We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too.

Orange Stage - Develop a rounded game (Age 8-9)

Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage children will know all of the rules and will be serving and returning in matches.

Green Stage - Test your skills (Age 9-10)

This is the big one. It’s time for kids to play on full size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far. 

Yellow Stage - Take your skills further (Age 10+)

Time to find your game. Playing on a full size court with the same size balls the pros use, kids will continue to explore different styles on the court, and start to choose their own. 

Squads run during term time only and must be booked and paid in advance. Players must be a member of the club in order to attend a squad.
