As the first stage of tennis progressions, this phase teaches children between the ages of three and five how to enjoy the game through a series of fun activities with the aim of improving their balance, coordination, agility, movement, and racket and ball skills.

Mini Tennis Red

This is the first stage of tennis where the players from 5-8 are learning serve, rally and score with a slow ball, (sponge/red) as well as learning the movement and co-ordination skills needed for tennis. There are tournaments for this age group if the kids want to continue having fun whilst testing their newly developed skills against other players.

Mini Tennis Orange

The next stage of mini tennis is using an orange ball aimed at players of 8/9 years old. Technical foundations are continually developed, and we now start developing the tactical element of the game on a bigger court, yet not full size and lower net.

Mini Tennis Green

The final stage of mini tennis is with a green ball. This is more pressurised ball closer replicating the yellow ball and the game is now played on a full-size court with a full-height net. This final stage should complete the seamless transition through the mini tennis program to now competing on the full ball court.
