Mini Tennis programs are split, by age, into Red, Orange & Green groups.
Programs use special coloured low-pressure balls, which are easier to rally with. This enables juniors to develop a sense for the game while developing their technique.
Talented juniors will have the opportunity to trial for our development squads for tournament training and LTA league matches.
