Mini Tots Tennis

Mini Tots Tennis is for children aged 3 to 5.

These sessions focus on learning the basics to the sport, while engaged in a series of fun engaging activities. At this stage the focus is on building up fundamental skills such as agility, balance, co-ordination and speed. We like to call them the ABC'S and believe they are vital for development setting children up for tennis and other sports as well. Our tots sessions are led by LTA qualified coaches. 

 

Junior Tennis Courses

We offer a wide range of Junior Tennis Course for all juniors aged between 3-16 years old. All courses are run by LTA accredited coaches who will work with juniors to develop their skills and understanding of the sport. Courses are designed to be fun and engaging, but also giving the juniors a safe and controlled environment to practice their skills which have been learnt from their coaches.

Whether juniors have participated in tennis before, or if they are completely new to the sport we have something to offer everyone.

Mini Tennis Red: Mini tennis red is for players aged 8 and under. During this stage they will learn the fundamentals of tennis whilst playing on a smaller court with smaller rackets and softer balls. This allows them to develop key skills such as forehands and backhands whilst being able to rally with the coaches and their peers. 

Mini Tennis Orange: Mini Tennis orange is for players aged 8 and 9. Mini tennis orange is a great way for players to progress from mini tennis red. During this stage they will again be playing with smaller rackets and softer balls. The court will be bigger than red stage but still not full sized. Mini tennis orange allows juniors to develop a more rounded game and start learning basic tactics before progressing onto a full size court.

Mini Tennis Green: Mini tennis green is for juniors aged 9 and 10.Mini Tennis Green is played on a full size court with bigger rackets but the balls are still slightly softer then normal yellow balls. During Mini tennis green our LTA qualified coaches will start developing all aspects of their game on the full sized courts.

Yellow Ball Tennis: Players who are at this stage of their tennis pathway will be playing on full size courts with adult sized rackets as well as full yellow tennis balls. At this age the emphasis on tactical and technical development around match related skills.
