Mini Tennis

Fun learning is paramount in the Mini Tennis sessions. Ball sense, movement ,coordination, speed and agility play a big part in a child's development, and worked on extensively in our well structured sessions.

Players are grouped in the following levels according to age and standard and moved up at varying times.

Mini Tennis Red Age 4 to 7

Ratio 1 Coach : 6-8 Players (ratios may vary slightly at certain times)

MTR is played over smaller nets across the width of a tennis court, with very low-pressure MTR balls. MTR  is  the ideal introduction to tennis, with lots of fun activities every week.

Mini Tennis Orange Age 6 to 9

Ratio 1 Coach : 6-8 Players (ratios may vary slightly at certain times)

MTO is played over the full tennis net, with low-pressure MTO balls. MTO is restricted to either the service boxes, or 3/4 of the length of the court to allow a steady progression.

Mini Tennis Green Age 8 to 11

Ratio 1 Coach : 6-8 Players (ratios may vary slightly at certain times)

MTG is played over the full tennis net using mid-pressure MTG balls. Should be able to rally more consistently now and begin power development.

Mini Player / Performer Squads Age 5 to 11

Ratio 1 Coach : 4 Players (ratios may vary slightly at certain times)

These sessions are invitational only, and are provided to fast-track talented players, with a view to entering our Performance Programme, and eventually representing the County LTA. Talent ID is undertaken on a regular basis, both within our Mini Tennis Programme and local Schools.

Progression is at the discretion of the Coaching Team.

Assessment Forms are distributed at the end of each block.
