About this course

Notes from the coach

Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Red and is for players aged 8 and 9. Players develop a rounded game learning a range of techniques and tactics. Courts are bigger and wider than the red stage but still smaller than full-size tennis courts. There are team and individual competitions with matches using tie-break scoring - Shortened full size court - Progress from Red - An orange ball is used which is 50% slower than a yellow ball - Develop more technical skills - There are team and individual competitions with matches using tie-break scoring - usually the best of three tie-breaks
