Our Coaching Courses run in 6-week blocks, with feedback
and matchplay practice provided at the end of each block. Following the 5th week's lesson, players will be given
a Player Report from the coach to inform them of their improvement over the previous 5 weeks. It will also inform you
are ready to move up to the next level, or if you need further improvement before progressing.
We run each stage in 3 levels: 3 - 2 - 1. Level 3 is for
the beginners in that age-group and as players improve they will progress up through the levels. For any players
who are progressing quicker than average, we have Development and Performance squads available.
Please see below for information on our Mini Tennis, Junior Tennis and
Adult Tennis courses.
For more information and to find out availability on the courses, please contact the Centre
on (01978) 265260 or pop in and speak to a member of staff.

Mini Tennis (2 1/2 - 10 yrs)
Mini Tennis is the game of tennis modified for younger players on smaller sized courts, played with lighter
rackets & lower bouncing tennis balls. It is split into 3 stages: Red, Orange & Green. Players progress
through these stages according to their age: Tots = 2 1/2 - 4 yrs, Red = 4 - 8yrs, Orange = 9yrs, Green

For those players who are considered to be capable of playing above the national average
for their age, we also have Development and Performance programmes in Mini Tennis, which focus on more advanced coaching
techniques and tactics. Please see the relevant Development and Performance sections for further information on these
programmes, or visit the LTA website www.lta.org.uk/players/juniors for further information on Mini Tennis.
Parent & Tots Lessons (2 1/2 - 4 yrs)

Led
by one of our fully-qualified coaches, the lessons are 30mins long and the activities are designed to help them
improve basic skills such as hand-eye co-ordination, balance and movement. With you there on court to help them with
each of the games and activities, they'll soon get comfortable with the new surroundings and will have a basic understanding
of those skills, which will help them at the next stage of Mini Red.
