Please select the most applicable option below to find out what group they should book.
5-8 years old
You are a Red Performance player
The Red Performance sessions are designed with the aim of developing more complex skills of playing tennis. This includes the decision-making skills and tactical awareness of shots played in tennis. We would like to see this group being comfortable playing matches and striving to participate in local tournaments.
8-9 years old
You are an Orange Performance player
These sessions will develop more experienced players to play within an Orange court. At this stage, participants require faster movement and more power on shots to meet the demands of each session. We will also be looking into more specific shots such as the serve and volley, and how they can be effectively used within play. Matchplay will be focussed on at these sessions and we would like to encourage participants to play local/regional tournaments.
10 Years Old
You are a Green Performance player
A Green Performance player will play on a full sized tennis court with a Green Ball which is lighter than a full weighted Yellow Ball. At this stage, a Green Performance player will look to automate the serve, forehand, backhand and volley skills. Each participant will be coached tactics to provide a ‘why’ behind each shot and to gain an advantage over the opponent. Matchplay will be incorporated into each session and each player will be encouraged to play local/regional tournaments.
11 - 12 Years Old
You are a Yellow Ball Performance player
The Yellow Ball Performance 11-12 years stage focuses on automating the serving, forehand, backhand and volleying skills. Each participant will be taught tactical awareness to provide a ‘why’ behind each shot and to gain an advantage over the opponent. All participants will be encouraged to partake in regular matchplay and to attend local/regional/national tournaments. The participants should strive towards moving into our yellow ball development or performance 13+ sessions.
