Youth Tennis

Our junior coaching programme follows the official LTA Youth stages, providing a fun, structured pathway that helps children develop their tennis skills step by step. Each stage uses the right size court, equipment, and ball type to suit the child’s age and ability, making learning easier and more enjoyable.

🔵 Blue Stage (Ages 3–5)

Our youngest players learn through fun, high-energy games that build agility, balance, and coordination. Using small courts and soft balls, we introduce simple racket and ball skills in a playful, confidence-boosting environment.

🔴 Red Ball Stage (Ages 5–7)

Played on smaller courts with larger, softer red balls, this stage introduces children to the basics of tennis through fun games and activities. They’ll develop coordination, movement, and simple rally skills while building confidence and enjoying the sport.

🟠 Orange Ball Stage (Age 8)

With a slightly bigger court and medium-bounce orange balls, players learn to serve, rally, and score, while starting to understand tactics. This stage builds on their skills and introduces more match play in a supportive environment.

🟢 Green Ball Stage (Ages 9–10)

Using a full-size court and lower-bounce green balls, children refine their strokes, movement, and tactical awareness. They’ll gain the confidence to rally and compete while learning sportsmanship and match etiquette.

🟡 Yellow Ball Stage (Ages 10+)

At this stage, players use the same yellow balls as in the adult game. Coaching focuses on advanced techniques, consistency, and match strategies, preparing players for competitive play and ongoing development in tennis.

With the right challenges at each stage, children stay motivated, progress at their own pace, and enjoy a clear pathway from beginner to confident player.
