The team run groups for all ages and standards from age 3 upwards. The aim of the programme is to provide quality coaching in a fun environment.
The programme is split into Mini Tennis and Full-Court Tennis.
Mini Tennis is tennis especially designed for younger players. Children learn
how to play tennis on smaller courts with low bouncing balls and simple scoring.
Players move through the levels of Red, Orange and Green when they are able
to cope with a bigger court, bigger racket and a faster ball.
Mini Tennis - RED
This is aimed at 4-6 year olds playing with big, low bouncing balls. Players work on co-ordination skills and the basic shots to play the game.
Mini Tennis - ORANGE
45 minutes tennis / 30 minutes co-ordination & conditioning This is aimed at 7-9 year olds and players develop their core tennis skills, rallying and serving using medium-bounce balls in a 3/4 sized court.
Mini Tennis - GREEN
45 minutes tennis / 30 minutes co-ordination & conditioning.
This is aimed at 8-10 year olds and provides the transition to full court
tennis. Greater emphasis is placed on technique and matchplay.
Full Court Tennis
These squads are designed for older juniors (11-16's) wanting to take
their tennis up a notch. Players learn on a full court with full regular
scoring. Full court Tennis embraces all standards, players work on improving
their technique, developing their tactical awareness for both singles and
doubles and also to work on the physical aspects of the game.
We believe
that fitness and movement skills are a key element of tennis and sport in
general, and our programme is unique in that it offers all juniors from Orange
upwards a specific fitness / movement / co-ordination session each week.
