Mini Tennis is a great introduction to the sport for young children aged between 3 and 11 years old. It’s just like the real thing, but with smaller courts, nets and rackets and lower-bouncing balls.

There are four levels of Mini Tennis; Tiny Tots, Red, Orange and Green, each with their own court size and type of ball. The slower and lower bouncing balls make it far easier to learn the game. This tailored approach, based on age and physical maturity enables players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age.

Tiny Tots / Mini Red Tennis

This is a great way for players to start out and is for players aged 3 to 5 (tiny tots) and 5 to 7 (mini red). It is played on smaller courts with shorter rackets and softer balls. It’s just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots.

Mini Orange tennis

Orange ball is a great way for players to continue their progress from red ball and is for players aged 7 to 9. It’s the next stage to go through before you start playing on a full sized court and it will help players develop all the different shots, providing fun competition.

Mini Green tennis

Green ball is a great way for players to continue their progress and is aimed at players aged 9 to 11 years. It is played on a full tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls that are a little softer than yellow balls. It’s the next stage to go through before you start playing on a full sized court and it will help players work on and improve all aspects of their game.

Junior tennis

Yellow ball tennis is for players aged 11 and over. It is played on a full tennis court, with full size rackets and full compression yellow balls. It’s the last stage of your tennis development and the technique and skills that you have developed through the stages of mini tennis can now be put into practice.
