Mini Tennis Red (Ages 5-8)
Red Development is the perfect place to start for children who are new to tennis. Using slower foam balls and smaller courts, children learn the basics of tennis in a fun and supportive environment.
The main focus of these sessions is enjoyment and developing a love for the sport, while encouraging children to focus, work hard and persevere. These foundational skills will serve them well both on and off the tennis court.
Orange Ball (Ages 8-9)
Orange Ball is the next step for children progressing from Red Ball or those aged 8-9 who are new to tennis. Using a ball that bounces 50% slower than a standard yellow ball, children develop their rallying skills and learn proper technique.
At this stage, children begin to understand the basics of the game, including positioning, shot selection and consistency.
Suitable for: Children aged 8-9 years
Session length: 1 hour

Tuesday 5-6pm
Wednesday 5-6pm

Green Ball (Ages 9-10)
Green Ball coaching is for children who have progressed through the Mini Tennis stages or are aged 9-10 with some tennis experience. Using a ball that is 25% slower than a yellow ball, children play on a full-size court and begin to develop their all-round game.
