2024 Junior Coaching Programme
Under 10s - Mini Red Ball: Sunday 9-9.45 am
Red ball is a great way for players to start out in tennis. It is played on smaller courts with shorter rackets and softer balls. It's just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots.
9-14s Orange Ball: Thursday 5-6pm
Orange ball is a great way for players to continue their progress from red ball. It is played on slightly larger courts than red ball, with bigger rackets and balls. Its the next stage before playing on a full sized court and will help players develop all the different shots, providing fun competition.
11-16s - Green Ball - Monday 5-6pm
Green ball is a great way for players to continue their progress from orange ball mini tennis. It is played on full tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls that are a little softer then yellow balls. Its the next stage to go before starting playing with a full compression yellow ball on a full sized court and it will help players work on and improve all aspects of their game. Similar to orange but ability to logically analyse and probe more deeply into concepts encouraged.
Under 16s - Green Ball - Sunday 10-11am
Full court, light rackets, yellow (full) ball. Play and practice easily with peers. Greater understanding of self reflection, strategy and planning.
