LTA Youth Red  - This will look a bit more like the tennis you know using smaller rackets,  oversized slow bounce balls on a smaller court. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination, balance and speed.  We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too.

Lots of fun games including a selection of activity stations designed to provide a variety of tennis related learning experiences – the emphasis is very much on FUN.

> LTA Youth Red is for players aged 5-7yrs.
