We follow the LTA stages to ensure all our sessions are age-/ability-appropriate and allow progression and development. The stages are:

• BLUE: AGES 4&5
  This introduction to tennis focuses on building strong foundations. Through fun, active games, kids will develop balance, agility, and hand-eye coordination while exploring the basics of the sport. It’s not about winning – it’s about learning new skills and having a blast.
  • Blue Court Size: small – a quarter the size of a full-size tennis court with low net
  • Balls: large Red or foam balls – 75% slower than a normal tennis ball
• RED: AGES 6-8
  Get ready to see rallies, volleys, and overarm serves. At this stage, kids will continue to improve speed, coordination, and reaction time. Relaxed, friendly competition is introduced to help develop confidence and teamwork.
  • Red Court Size: small – a quarter the size of a full-size tennis court with low net
  • Red Balls: large Red or foam balls – 75% slower than a normal tennis ball
• ORANGE: AGES 8-9
  This is where strategy comes in. Kids will explore tactics, problem-solving, and sportsmanship. They’ll sharpen their match play skills while developing leadership qualities that benefit them on and off the court.
  • Orange Court Size: shortened baseline, narrower court and lower net
  • Orange Balls: 50% slower than a normal tennis ball
• GREEN: AGES 9-10/11
  Stepping up to a full-size court – kids will refine their skills and techniques while learning to handle more competitive situations. These sessions help them grow their game and master the mental side of sports.
  • Green Court Size: full size, but narrower for doubles
  • Green Balls: 25% slower than a normal tennis ball
• YELLOW: AGES 11+
  With full-size balls on regulation courts, just like the pros. Here, kids continue exploring different styles of play. They’ll focus on developing a game that’s uniquely theirs while building confidence and resilience. 
  • Court Size: full size
  • Yellow Balls: normal adult tennis balls
