We like to recognise the achievements of our juniors and now have a 'player of the month' for mini tennis and tennis juniors, click on the tab on the left to see recent winners.

Stages of Tennis
Age 3 to 4 Tiny Tots - Fun is the name of the game.

For ages 4 to 8, Mini Tennis Red is a great way to start out in tennis, introducing the core skills of movement and coordination, taking part in lots of fun activities and playing short matches and team competitions.

Orange ball mini tennis is for players aged 8 and 9 to continue their progress from red ball, moving onto a slightly larger court.

Green ball is a great way for players aged 10 or nearly 10 to progress to the full court. It's the final stage of the mini tennis programme.

This is what parents will call 'normal' tennis, ie played on a full court with a standard tennis ball.
Details of all coaching at the various levels can be found in our Summer Programme.

Following an LTA sponsored programme in local schools, the club held a 'mini talent' afternoon for young players. The children had a great time, maybe our next Wimbledon champion was there!
