Notes from the coach

Mini Tennis Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red and is for players aged 8 and 9. It is played with shorter rackets, 58cm – 63 cm (23” – 25”) softer balls which are 50% slower than a yellow ball giving players better control at this important stage of development. The 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. The net is still 80cm high in the middle - the same as red. If a lesson is postponed due to weather, there will be a notice on the website here http://www.avenuetennisclub.co.uk/ under the umbrella named ‘weather status’ with the replacement lesson date, if there is no message on the website, then the lesson is on.
