Our Philosophy is all about getting kids match ready ASAP! Playing others, competing, having fun, and building friendships
Blue Ball
Ages 3-5+
A starting point to teach kids the fundamental movement skills needed to be able to eventually rally and play Red Ball.
Throwing and catching
Tracking
Racket control and skills
Aiming
Cooperation
Hitting to a target
Red Ball
Ages 5-8+
This is where we get kids to start playing tennis! Players learn to serve, rally, and play against others with scoring, both in singles and doubles
More fundamental movement skills
Overhead serve
Full swings with finishes
Court coverage
Consistency and hitting away from opposition
Cooperation and competition
Scoring, rules, and sportsmanship
Orange Ball
Ages 8-10+
Kids start developing solid technical and tactical bases, and may even get their first exposure to tournaments! The court expands, the ball gets smaller and bouncier, and more options are available
Topspin
Volleys and transition to net
Slice serves
Recognising offence, neutral, and defence
Movement patterns and stances
Being part of a team in internal leagues and tournaments
Green Ball
Ages 10-12+
Transition stage to yellow ball. The court’s now full size, and players develop all the base technical, tactical, and movement skills that will serve them going forwards with their tennis.
Slices
Variation of speed and spin
Mastery of different grips
Using angles, height, and speed both offensively and defensively
Competing against other clubs as part of a team
