Junior Coaching: Weekly Programme

Our junior sessions follow in line with the LTA Tennis Youth programme.

The LTA Youth programme is structured to allow children to develop their capabilities as they grow and is split into 5 main areas.

  • Blue 4-6 years - Develop fundamental co-ordination skills
  • Red: 6-8 years - Serve, rally and score
  • Orange: 7-9 years - Develop a rounded game
  • Green: 9-10 years - Put your skills to the test
  • Yellow: 10 years+ - playing the game

Please note age groups are guidelines, and the coaching team will help guide all players to be in the right session/colour to help them develop at the speed most suitable for them.

In each of these areas we have split the Junior programme into two starnds, 1) The Hotshotz programme for players developing the skills to learn to rally, serve, return and play, and 2) The Road To Competition (RTC) for players who can now rally and play the game with their peers and lwill be ooking to start to compete or represent the club or are already competing.

After 1 half term as a non-member you will be required to join the club to continue in the coaching programme.

We are very keen to give children the opportunity to take their tennis from the practice court to playing small informal competitive games and for those that wish to the opportunity to go and play tennis competitively in a more formal tournament environment. Please look our for more information on this in the coming weeks and months.
