Notes from the coach

This Yellow ball tennis session is for intermediate junior players aged 11 and over who have a good understanding of tennis and can control the ball on both the forehand and backhand side. It is played on a full tennis court, with full size rackets and full compression yellow balls. It’s the last stage of your tennis development and the technique and skills that you have developed through the stages of mini tennis can now be put into practice. A full size racket of 27”-29” is recommended, when a player is physically ready. Competitions are team and individual based, providing the chance to compete in 3 set matches. The scoring for each match is usually the best of 3 short sets, or best of 3 full sets and competitions and tournaments can be for a day, over a weekend or over a week in the school holidays
