Tiny Tots (Blue Stage / Pre-School)
3 - 5yrs
Tennis enhancing activities such as throw, catch, roll, hit, run, jump. We use mini-nets, small racquets and soft balls to ensure the movements taught are appropriate for their physical and developmental age. Primarily focused on developing children's co-ordination & fundamental motor skills in an incredibly fun and exciting environment. A great way to get a head start for every child's sporting pathway!
Red Ball
5 - 8yrs
Time to develop and practice the first skills every child learns and introduce the game of tennis. We use mini-nets, small racquets and soft balls to ensure the movements taught are appropriate for their physical and developmental age. Our focus is to begin teaching each tennis stroke in conjunction with alike skills to speed up and strengthen the learning. Here we will begin to learn to rally and play mini matches.
Orange Ball
7 - 9yrs
The first step onto the 'big court', but with a twist. We still use slightly smaller and lighter racquets & balls, and we get to hit over a lowered net and our court length is 3/4 of a full size court. Players in this age can quickly develop a full tennis game! Integrating skills alike to their tennis strokes and having a 'play' approach to these lessons ensures strengthened movements and maximum hitting time.
Green Ball
9 - 10yrs
We have made it to the full size court! The balls are close to a standard tennis ball and racquets are light and almost full size. Our lesson plans are game based to ensure maximum hitting and learning how to further develop our swings and particularly our movement. Our activities and games are always a hit with the players!
Yellow Ball
11+
Full court, standard ball and full size racquets (still a little lighter while their muscles grow). From here we will create groups based on experience and goals. Want to learn new skills with friends and a game for life? We have just that! Found out you have some natural talent and want to start learning competing with like-minded players? We have just the Development Squad for you. Continuing to advance players movements, co-ordination and strokes through creative and exciting activities and games through a game-base approach.
