Junior Coaching
Our program for junior coaching has something for children of all ages and abilities. You can start at any age and our LTA qualified coaches will help you progress.
Tiny Tots (3-4 yrs)
Tiny Tots is for little ones who require some basic skills and an introduction to tennis. The session uses sponge balls indoors and provides lots of different ball skills, balancing / co-ordination games and introduces using a racket and hitting over the net.
Mini Tennis Red (5-8 yrs)
Mini Tennis Red is for players aged 8 and under. It is played on small courts with short rackets and soft balls. It’s just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots.
Mini Tennis Orange (8-9 yrs)
Mini Tennis Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red and is for players aged 8 and 9. It is played with shorter rackets, softer balls and courts are bigger and wider than the red stage but still smaller than full-size tennis courts allowing players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.
It is the next stage before playing on a full sized court and helps players develop different shots and tactics.
Mini Tennis Green (9-10 yrs)
Mini Tennis Green is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Orange. It is played on a full size tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls which are a little softer than yellow balls. It’s the next stage before moving on to full compression yellow balls on a full sized court and helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game.
Junior Full Ball (11-18 yrs)
Junior Full ball tennis is a great way for young players to continue their development after Mini Tennis Green. It doesn't matter if you've not been through the "mini tennis program" you can begin with Full Ball tennis if that's your age when you pick up a racket. It's played on a full size court with full compression yellow balls and is the last stage of junior tennis helping you develop to playing adult tennis.
