Programme Overview

Ages 4–8 (Red Ball)

An introductory programme designed for children who are new to tennis. Sessions focus on developing fundamental coordination, movement skills, and a basic understanding of the game. These core skills are transferable to a wide range of sports and everyday activities.

Ages 8–9 (Orange Ball)
Suitable for young players ready to take the next step. This stage supports the development of greater technical ability and game awareness. Many players will begin participating in their first matches or informal play.

Ages 9–11 (Green Ball)
The final phase of junior development, preparing players for full-court tennis. Emphasis is placed on refining technique and introducing tactical understanding. Participation in local leagues and individual tournaments is encouraged at this stage.
Green ball tennis is also beneficial for adults returning from upper body injuries, as it allows for controlled practice while rebuilding strength and technique.

Ages 12+ (Yellow / Full Ball)
At this stage, players transition to full tennis balls and standard court play. Sessions focus on understanding ball dynamics such as spin, speed, and bounce, alongside developing advanced techniques and tactical decision-making.

Holiday Camps
In addition to our weekly coaching programme, we offer tennis camps throughout the year during school half terms and holidays. These camps provide an excellent opportunity for players of all levels to develop their skills in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment, with a strong emphasis on both technical improvement and match play.
