Junior Groups
At Long Marston Tennis Club, we offer coaching for players aged 4 to 15 years. Players are always grouped by age to ensure the best learning experience.
Our lessons cover the basics of tennis and focus on developing the fundamental skills needed to improve over time. For younger players, we emphasise coordination and movement skills specific to tennis, building a strong foundation that carries through to the teen years.
We follow LTA guidelines for ball and court stages:
- Red Ball: For ages 8 and under – Uses a red felt ball, 25% the speed of a regular ball, played on a smaller court.
- Orange Ball: For ages 8–9 – 50% ball speed, played on 75% court size.
- Green Ball: For ages 9–11 – 75% ball speed, played on a full court.
- Yellow Ball: For ages 11–17 – Full ball speed, played on a full court.
