What is Mini Tennis all about?
Mini Tennis is about providing a fun and exciting introduction to tennis. Its the ideal way for young players to learn the skills and tactics of tennis and actually play the game.
The main focus is learning the FUNdamentals. There is a whole range of skills that kids need to play sport. Consequently Mini Tennis lessons will include learning about running, jumping, balance, coordination, throwing and catching, as well as learning more formal tennis skills. The better the kids are at these skills; the better tennis players theyll become.
Mini Tennis is the first stage of the tennis pathway in which children (aged 4-11) gradually progress through the RED, ORANGE and GREEN stages according to ability. In the process, the court size, racket length, ball speed and length of games all increase until the player is ready to move onto the full game.
RED - Children introduced to the basics - Start development of core skills of movement and coordination
ORANGE - Emphasis on further development - Learn new shots and techniques to rally on bigger court
GREEN - Final stage before full tennis - Play on whole court - Further improve techniques and tactics
