Welcome to our Dronfield Junior Coaching Page. We pride ourselves on having a very passionate, hardworking coaching team who provide a pathway for juniors of all ages and abilities - see below for more details...

Mini Red (5-8 years)

Mini Tennis Red is for players aged 8 and under. 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.

Mini Orange (8 & 9 Years)

Mini Tennis Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red. It is played with appropriately sized rackets, lower pressurized balls with a bigger and wider court. However, the smaller than full-size tennis courts still allows players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.

Green Ball Tennis (9-12 years)

Mini Tennis Green is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Orange. It is played on a full size tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls which are a little softer than yellow balls. It’s the next stage before moving on to full compression yellow balls on a full sized court and helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game.

Full Ball Tennis (11+)

Full ball tennis is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Green. It is played on a full size court with full compression yellow balls and is the final stage of junior tennis helping players progress through to adult tennis.
