Junior Coaching (5 - 17)

Red Mini Tennis
(Ages 5 - 8)

Designed for children aged five to seven years old which enables them to learn the basics of tennis. It encourages them through a series of fun activities based on the fundamental areas of balance, co-ordination, agility, movement and hand-eye coordination. Red tennis takes place on a much smaller tennis court, using shortened tennis rackets (17 - 19 inches) and a bigger and slower ball.

Orange Tennis
(Ages 8 - 10)

Progression from mini red tennis. Players continue to learn the game as well as learning a range of techniques and tactics. Sessions continue to include lots of movement, co-ordination, speed, balance and agility based games and of course having fun at the same time! Orange tennis takes place on a three-quarter length court with an orange ball (a bit softer than normal tennis balls) and shortened tennis rackets (23 inches).

Green Tennis
(Ages 10 - 12)

It's time to let them loose on real, full-sized courts. Using green tennis balls which are slightly softer than normal tennis balls, and shortened tennis rackets (26 inch) This course helps players to further develop the skills that they have learnt throughout the programme and improve on all aspects of their game before moving on to a full compression yellow ball.

Junior Tennis
(Ages 17 & Under)

These sessions are played on full size courts with normal tennis balls. Within the sessions, players learn and play all aspects of tennis including singles & doubles, using a range of techniques and tactics.
