Children's Coaching:

At Rufforth Tennis Club we follow the LTA Mini Tennis guidelines for developing players 10 and under. Within this, there are three stages: Red, Orange and Green. At Mini Red level, the court is much smaller, and the balls are both larger and softer. As the child progresses, the inverse occurs, courts get bigger and balls harder and faster moving. Mini tennis serves as the best way to get kids started playing the sport in a way that is accessible and is right for them, wherever they are in their tennis journey. 

We also offers Junior groups for older children who want to continue developing their game, whether that's to begin entering competitions or to ensure they have a life skill that they can take wherever they go.
