Mini Tennis Coaching
A great introduction to the sport for young children between 4 and 10 years old. It’s just like the real thing, but with smaller courts, nets, rackets and lower-bouncing balls.
There are three levels of Mini Tennis, Red, Orange and Green, each with their own court size and type of ball. This tailored approach, based on age and physical maturity enables players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age.
The low compression balls used in Mini Tennis are slower and lower bouncing making it far easier to learn the game.
We conform to the LTA guidelines on coach:pupil ratios. For Mini Tennis we have ratios of 1:8 and for junior tennis 1:12. This enhances the pupil learning experience which you may not experience at other clubs.
Please get in touch if you are unsure what session is best for your child.
Junior Tennis Coaching
Our junior tennis programmes have been developed in partnership with the LTA to help players accelerate their learning and development in a fun, active environment. Junior tennis groups cater for children aged 11 years+ and these sessions are played on a full sized court using the regular yellow ball.
