About this course

Notes from the coach

Mini Tennis Green is a great way for developing junior players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Orange. It is played on a full size tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls which are a little softer than yellow balls. It’s the next stage before moving on to full compression yellow balls on a full sized court and helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game. A green ball is used, which is 25% slower than a yellow ball. Mini Tennis Green is played on a normal size court. Doubles matches should also be played on a normal size court with singles sticks in place (if available). The net is at full height. A bigger racket of 63cm – 66cm (25” – 26”) should be used but not compulsory. At Mini Tennis Green there are individual and team competitions, with scoring extended to short sets.
