Notes from the coach
Mini Tennis Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red and is for beginner junior players over the age of 8 years. It is played with shorter rackets, softer balls and courts are bigger and wider than the red stage but still smaller than full-size tennis courts allowing players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics. It is the next stage before playing on a full sized court and helps players develop different shots and tactics. An orange ball is used which is 50% slower than a yellow ball, giving players better control at this important stage of development. Mini Tennis Orange is played on a 18m x 6.5m court and the net is 80cm high at the middle. At Mini Tennis Orange there are team and individual competitions with matches using tie-break scoring - usually the best of three tie-breaks.
