Junior Coaching

Here at Withdean Tennis Academy we have been coaching juniors for over 15 years and coach over 250 children per week. Whatever your objective, from wanting to rally to wanting to be a pro, we can help.

Here is a brief guide to our termtime squads:

Diddy Tennis: For children aged 3 to 5.  Wednesdays.

Red: For children 8 and under. Small court, small net, sponge and/or Red balls. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Orange: For children aged 9 and under. ¾ length court (see the Orange baselines painted on all our courts). Orange balls. Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays.

Green: For children aged 10 and under. Played on a full court but with low compression (Green) balls. Wednesdays, Saturdays.

Each stage of mini tennis uses a different ball. The balls have a lower compression than adult (yellow balls) so that the speed of travel and bounce is appropriate to the age of the child.

Turbo: For children aged 11+. This is 'full' tennis. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays.
