TOTS
Tots Tennis is for 3-4 yr olds. Our team of coaches lead Tots through a variety of short, fun activities that help them develop basic racket, movement and ball skills.
During each 45 minute session, we encourage our Tots to build confidence through friendship, as well as learning how to work on their own and as part of a team.
Our Tots lessons run at the following times:
Monday 4:00pm – 4:45pm
Tuesday - 4:00 – 4:45pm
Lucy (4) has recently started coming to our Tots lessons to develop her key skills like balance, coordination and agility. Her mum has noticed she's much better at playing games now, like catch in the park!
RED
These groups are for 5-8yr olds and are just like real tennis but on smaller courts, using soft sponge balls and short rackets. Sessions include agility and coordination games, racket and ball skills and the basic techniques and tactics to enable players to serve, rally and play a match. Players are encouraged to play in fun competitions as soon as they are ready.
Our Red lessons run at the following times:
Monday 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Tuesday 5:00 - 6:00pm
Wednesday 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Friday 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Saturday 9:00am - 10:00am or 11:00am - 12:00pm
Sunday 9:00am - 10:00am
Arjun (6) has been coming to our Red lessons for a few weeks. He loves learning to play tennis through games, and obviously getting to run around with his friends! His social interactions have also improved since he started, as he’s worked on communicating with the other children in his class.
ORANGE
These groups are for 8-9yr olds and see players progress onto a 3/4 sized tennis court. Orange balls look more like a standard ball but are lower bouncing and slower on the court giving the players more time to respond. Coaches help players to further develop the game skills learned in Red always focusing on playing the game and using all the shots.
Our Orange lessons run at the following times:
Monday 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Tuesday 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Wednesday 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Friday 5:00 - 6:00pm
Saturday 10:00am - 11:00am
Sunday 10:00am - 11:00am
Harry (9) played tennis a couple of times at school and loved it, so has started our Orange lessons! His mum has already noticed how much he's improved. She also said he's become faster and more coordinated in his football matches!
GREEN
These groups are for 10-11yr olds and see players progress to a full size court using balls which are 25% softer and lower bouncing than normal tennis balls. Coaches focus on helping players adapt their skills to the bigger court and faster ball in preparation for the full game in singles
and doubles.
Our Green lessons run at the following times:
Monday 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Saturday 11:00am - 12:00pm
Toyin's (10) dad loves seeing her get stuck into her Green lessons every week! 'She's now able to rally up to 10 and it's great to see her not sitting in front of her computer for a change!
