LTA Youth Orange is a great way for players to start playing or continue their progress from LTA Youth Red and is for players aged 8-10yrs.

Equipment and court size are adapted to cater for the ability of players.   It is played with shorter rackets, low compression balls and courts still a bit smaller than full-size tennis courts allowing players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics. It is the stage before playing on a full sized court.

Sessions cover co-ordination and movement, progressive development of the strokes, basic rules and tactics.
