We have a mini tennis coaching programme suited to children aged 5 to 11 years of age.  The details for these classes are as follows.

Mini Red/Orange Ball (6 to 9 years)

Mini Tennis Red and Orange is for players aged 9 and under. It is played on smaller courts with short rackets and softer balls. It’s just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have rallies and play different types of shots.  Please contact us if you are unsure which class to apply for.

Mini Orange/Green Ball (8 to 11 years)

Mini Tennis Orange and Green is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red and is for players aged 8 to 11 years. It is still played with shorter rackets, slightly softer balls and courts are bigger and wider than the red stage allowing players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.
