Juniors

We have a thriving junior section, with coaching available to suit all standards, from beginners to those with ambitions to play at Wimbledon - and some of our juniors already have, through the 'Road to Wimbledon' competition run each year. We provide a safe environment for our juniors, and have recently been awarded Clubmark status by the LTA in recognition of our high standards and great junior programme.

All juniors are encouraged to join British Tennis for their free rating, just follow this link:

If you're new to tennis, come along and join us for our club night on Fridays throughout the tennis season; you don't even have to be a club member, you can try three sessions for free! See our coaching page for details of this and other sessions.

Coaching

Another good way to get involved is to attend one of our highly successful and very enjoyable tennis camps. We usually have one at Easter, one at Whitsun, three in the summer holidays and one at October half-term. Click on the link for more details.

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 Coaching Programme.
