Blue Stage

Learn the basics (age 4-6)

A fun, play-based introduction to tennis. The focus is on developing agility, balance and coordination through play.  Children will be encouraged to understand their bodies through movement, while developing ball and racket skills while teaching them about the sport. At this stage, it’s not about winning or losing, just getting to grips with the basics.

Red Stage

Serve, rally and score (age 6-8)

This will look a bit more like the tennis . Children will develop overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Children will develop their co-ordination, balance and speed. There will be an introduction of relaxed competition here too, for teams and individuals.

Orange Stage

Develop a rounded game (age 8-9)

Continuing to work on the basics but it is 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)

It’s time for kids to play on full-size courts. Coaching will look at growing their game by fine-tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far, as well as being able to cover the full tennis court.

Yellow Stage

Take your skills further (age 10+)

Playing and finding 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.

The 11 & Under age group is designed to make the transition to Green to Yellow tennis smooth.

One of the main aims of our coaching is to prepare young players to play tennis, making the sport accessible, welcoming and enjoyable for all.
