The activity

Tennis, explained

Tennis lessons teach kids racket skills, footwork and match play, usually starting with mini-tennis on smaller courts with softer red or orange balls before moving to a full court with a green or yellow ball. Coaches typically group children by age and ability rather than by year group, and lessons run weekly through a term with progression tracked as kids move up a level. Sessions usually last an hour to ninety minutes and mix drills with rallying and games. Tennis builds hand-eye coordination, fitness and independence, since it's played one-on-one rather than in a team.

Who it's for

Six junior levels run from beginner to elite: Little ONS (starter, red balls) and Rising ONS (beginner, orange balls), Future ONS (intermediate, orange balls), Green ONS (intermediate/advanced, green ball), Champion ONS (advanced pre-competition) and NextGen ONS (high-performance, for players competing at ITF, national and international level). Age ranges per level aren't published - coaches evaluate each player and place them in the group that matches their level. Future ONS and above need a minimum group of 3. Private coaching is open to all ages; the fitness programme offers sessions for all levels, with registrations opening soon.

What to expect

Before joining, coaches evaluate each player so they start in the group that suits their level. The academy advertises Junior Trials with limited spots; trial dates and cost aren't published, so ask the provider on WhatsApp. Little ONS and Rising ONS are two one-hour tennis sessions a week, Wednesday and Friday 6-7PM. Future ONS trains Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with 30 minutes of fitness from 6PM then an hour of tennis from 6:30PM. Green ONS and Champion ONS train three times a week, and NextGen ONS four times a week, mixing tennis and fitness blocks on weekday evenings. Kit list isn't published - ask the provider.
