Notes from the coach
Mini Tennis Red is for players aged 10 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. What age is Mini Tennis Red aimed at? Mini Tennis Red is for players aged 10 & under. What ball is used? A felt ball is used which is 75% slower than a yellow ball. What size court is red ball played on? A court with dimensions of 11m x 5.5m or 12m x 6m. It's fine to use badminton court lines. What height is the net? The net is at a height of 80cm (in the middle). What racket is best to use? A shorter racket of 43cm – 58 cm (17” – 23”) is recommended depending on the size and strength of the player.
