What do these colour codes mean?

Our Junior coaching sessions are based on the LTA Youth Programme and split into banded age groups – Red, Orange and Green:

RED : Tennis lessons for ages 6-8 

This will look like the tennis you know. 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.

ORANGE : Tennis lessons for ages 8-9

Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage children will know all the rules and will be serving and returning in matches.

GREEN : Tennis lessons for ages 9-10

This is the big one. It’s time for kids to play on full size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far.

Our LTA Youth Programme has three different coaching stages, from Red to Green for children aged 6-10, and each stage is tailored to the developmental level of children in that age group. Starting with soft balls on small courts, kids finesse the basics for all sports – like coordination and balance. They then progress to tennis techniques and tactics. By the time they’re at the Green stage, they are fine-tuning their game on full-size courts.

Why is tennis good for kids? 

The LTA Youth Programme is designed to introduce children to tennis. Fun, dynamic sessions will help kids get to grips with the basics of the game, improve their co-ordination and make some new pals along the way. 

How can I motivate my kids to play tennis?

Make tennis fun! If your kids enjoy it, they’ll be clamouring to pick up a racket and head to the court. Picking a course following the LTA Youth Programme is a pretty good place to start. These sessions are engaging, energetic and a great way to make new friends.

How often should my kid play tennis?

There’s no right or wrong answer to this question. If your child is having fun, they should play as little or as much as they want to. If they would like to start competing, they will probably need to put in a bit more practice time.

What is the best way to teach kids tennis?

Make it fun! The more fun kids have, the more likely they are to improve their skills and want to continue. The best way to teach kids also depends on how old they are.

What should my child wear to play tennis? 

When it comes to clothes kids can wear whatever they’re most comfortable in really. Just remember they will be active – think shorts, tracksuit bottoms, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies. Keep the jeans and coats at home. 

Shoes wise, we’d suggest that kids wear a comfortable pair of trainers, as these will stop them from slipping and getting foot and ankle injuries when on the court.

Does my child need their own tennis racket?

Not at the outset as Wayne Scott Tennis can provide loan rackets of various sizes, so as to ensure all kids can play. This particularly beneficial to those just starting playing tennis. As our child progresses they will benefit from playing regularly with their own racket.
