LTA Youth

Our LTA Youth Programme caters for all children ages 3-11.

 

TOTS AND GUARDIANS TENNIS -  for 2-3yr olds over 45 minutes. This phase teaches children between the ages of two and three how to enjoy the game through a series of fun activities with the aim of improving their balance, coordination, agility, movement, and racket and ball skills alongside their guardian on court.

BLUE STAGE - for 3-5yr olds over 45 minutes. This is an introduction to tennis. Our team of expert coaches will help them improve their balance, agility and co-ordination through fun games and activities.  Our Blue players will learn basic racket and ball skills, how to work independently and as part of a team and develop their fine and gross motor skills.  At this stage it's not about winning or losing but getting to grips with the basics and building their confidence on court. 

RED STAGE - for 6-8yrs olds over 1 hour.  This will look a bit more like the tennis you know. You will see your player start to practice overarm serves, volleys and learn how to rally.  Our Red players will learn racket and ball skills, how to work independently and as part of a team and develop their co-ordination, balance, speed and agility.  At this stage our players are introduced to friendly competition and match play situations. 

 

ORANGE STAGE - for 8/9 yr olds over 1 hour. At this penultimate stage of LTA Youth, our coaches will start to include some tactical work, problem solving, sportsmanship and leadership.  Our Orange players will learn racket and ball skills on a bigger court, how to work independently and as part of a team and how to serve, rally and score as part of a game situation.  At this stage our players are helped to become confident with all the rules of the game and competing. 

GREEN STAGE - for 9/10yr old over 1 hour. This is the final stage of LTA Youth before moving up to our junior program. It’s time for kids to play on full size tennis courts.  Our Green players will learn racket and ball skills, grow their game and fine tune and refine the techniques they have learned so far.  At this stage our players are encouraged to be confident on court and helped to make the best 'in play decisions'.
