We adhere to the LTA system of Mini-Tennis. The categories are:

 

Tots-Blue ages 3-4

It’s always beneficial to start early! Tots Blue sessions are focussed on having fun whilst simultaneously learning about movement, balance and co-ordination.

 

Mini-Red ages 4-7

Mini Red Tennis is aimed at 4-7 year olds, with continued emphasis on the fundamentals of movement, balance, co-ordination and agility. Players learn the rules of tennis and develop the basics of good technique and tactics in an active and fun environment. Mini Reds play across the width of a standard tennis court, we use mini tennis nets and the balls are soft and slower. 

 

Mini-Orange ages 8-9 

Mini Orange Tennis is played on a 3/4 length court with a soft orange ball and is fantastic for players aged 8-9 years. Learning happens in a fun and active environment through games, drills and some competition. At this stage there is increased focus on the technical and tactical aspects of the game: grips, swing shapes, movement patterns and strategies. 

 

Mini-Green ages 10-11 

Mini Green Tennis is played on the full size tennis court, but the green balls are slightly lighter, slower and lower bouncing than full-court yellow. Children tend to play Mini Green aged 10 - 11 years. As always, we deliver energetic sessions with a priority given to activity, technical / tactical development and fun! 

 

Yellow ages 12+ 

Yellow Junior tennis is the big game! Full court tennis for the older juniors.  We have groups to cater for all levels and experience on our Programme, from beginner through to more advanced / performance squads. 

 

Performance

The Junior Performance Squads comprise our strongest, most experienced and committed junior players within their particular age group. We strive towards developing each squad member’s individual technical, tactical, mental & physical tennis skills through drills, competition & match play in a focussed and challenging environment. 

Membership of Performance Squads is by invite only. 

 

New junior players are always welcome! Contact Ben Griffin for information / bookings.
