We love sharing your child's tennis journey.....

Since March 2021 we have been part of the new LTA YOUTH PROGRAMME.  Taking junior players to the next level; you’ll see it in their confidence, their skills and even their concentration. Not to mention keeping them fit and active! Tennis skills, social skills, team and individual competition and you’ve got a set of skills for life.

Our LTA Youth class categories are: 

LTA Blue (Tot's) Stage Age 4-6years

The Blue Stage programme is designed to finesse their fine motor skills like balance, agility and coordination. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing but just getting to grips with the basics.

LTA Red Stage Age 6-8 years

The Red Stage includes technical and tactical work on overarm serves, rallies and scoring. Our junior players then have the chance to use their new knowledge to play in competitions as teams or individuals within their own session with friends first, then meeting other Devonshire players at our regular Team Challenge events.

LTA Orange Stage Age 8-9 years

All the skills they’ve been learning are turning them into tennis Titans. Time to throw in some further tactics, extra techniques, problem-solving and leadership too.

They will be able to compete just like when they were at Red Stage, starting within their session then competing at the Team Challenge but now learingin how to umpire Red Stage matches too!

LTA Green Stage Age 9-10 years

Our players are now fast approaching becoming teenagers and so it’s time to let them loose on full-sized courts. Now it’s all about fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned over the years.

LTA Yellow Stage Age 10 years+

At the Yellow stage, children are now playing on a full size court with the balls the professionals use. Our players will continue to explore different game styles and start to find their own. They will evolve through well-rounded motor skills development whilst improving their physical capacities.

Devonshire Performance Tennis

Our coaches are always looking for players with passion, commitment and drive to improve their game on court. These players will be invited to join performance squads where players will continue to develop their tactical and technical awareness and how they can use it in their own game.

All Devonshire Performance players compete on a regular basis in local, regional and national sanctioned tournaments.

You can join our Performance Team by contacting our Tennis administrator tania.barnes@nuffieldhealth.com who will then arrange a short Performance Trial Session and coach/player/parent or guardian meeting with our Head of Devonshire Performance Tennis, Linden Hardisty.
