The activity

Tennis, explained

Junior tennis usually starts with red-ball tennis: a shorter court, a smaller racket and a softer, slower ball, so young children can rally sooner and build good technique without needing adult power. As they grow, kids move up through orange and green balls towards the full-size court and the standard yellow ball. Along the way, tennis builds hand-eye coordination, footwork, balance and the patience to think through a point. Children who enjoy it can go on to club leagues, school teams and junior tournaments. Many children start in small red-ball groups from the early primary years.

Who it's for

Children starting out (Red Ball Intro Tennis) through to junior group players, with a pathway the academy describes as running 'from Red Ball kids to ITF juniors'. The website does not publish age bands for each group, so ask the provider which group suits your child's age and level.

What to expect

Junior sessions are 60 minutes, once a week. Beginners can join Red Ball Intro Tennis; other juniors train in groups of 4 or 6 with a Tier-1 or Tier-2 coach, which sets the price. Fees are paid per term: 16 weeks from September to December, 15 weeks from January to April and 10 weeks from April to June. The website does not describe a trial lesson, an assessment or what kit to bring, so ask the provider before the first session whether rackets are provided and which group your child should start in. The centre has shower and locker rooms and a lounge seating area.
