• The net is at a height of 80cm (in the middle)
• Players are encouraged to play fun competitions in teams or as individuals with short matches using tiebreak scoring
• It is like the real game and encourages long rallies the opportunity to play different types of shots

5pm Mini Orange - 8 and 9 year olds

• The net is at a height of 80cm (in the middle)
• It is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red
• The courts are bigger than the red stage but still smaller than a full size court allowing the players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics
• There are team and individual competitions with matches using tiebreak scoring –usually the best of three tiebreaks

6pm Yellow ball - 11+ years

• Played on a full sized court with compression yellow balls and full size rackets
• This is the last stage of tennis development and the techniques and skills that have been developed through the stages of mini tennis can now be put into practice.
