The red ball is larger than a yellow ball and doesn’t bounce as high (just 25% compression), making it a breeze for even the youngest players to hit comfortably. The courts and nets used in the Red stage are much smaller making it easier for kids to move around and enjoy success. Red level players may be beginners, improvers or even advanced players.

After mastering the Red stage, children move on to the Orange stage where the ball bounces a little higher (50% compression) and the court is a bit bigger. Orange players play over the regular net on a three quarter length court.

The ball used in the Green stage has a higher compression than the Red and Orange stages (75% of a yellow tennis ball) and children play on a full-size court.

Tennis Xpress is a worldwide ITF programme catering for beginner adults taking a ‘serve, rally, score’ approach to learning. The programme is a fun, innovative way of teaching tennis which removes many of the barriers associated with learning the sport. All the basic techniques, singles and doubles tactics and movement patterns are covered in this course.

Tennis Xplore is for players who have completed Tennis Xpress. Once they have grasped the basics of tennis these sessions are to explore deeper into the tactical and technical aspects of the sport. Players will be new to the game and want to continue to explore their shots to ready them for interclub.

These sessions are fast, with lots of running! Working in pairs you’ll attack or defend your position until you drop! These drills-based sessions are often pay as you go, or drop in, to work in with a busy work life.
