Mini Tennis

Mini tennis is a great way for Under 10s to get a feel for the game. Designed to allow young players to develop at a speed that suits them, there are three colour coded stages - red, orange and green. Starting with red, children play on small courts with mini racquets and soft balls. As players progress, the court size and racquet length increase making the game progressively faster.

Mini tennis programmes run throughout the year including an activity week in late July. They are open to non-members (although members pay a reduced rate and receive priority in the event the programme is over subscribed). For details please contact Gill Richardson (tel: 01704 834881).
