Beginner Programmes 

These programmes are fun, social groups designed to introduce young players to the game. Players will be grouped by age. Fundamental tennis skills are taught and hand-eye coordination developed.

Young players who are keen to progress in a more structured programme with smaller group sizes are able to move into the TG Performance groups as detailed below.

TG Red Performance Programme

Age: 5-8 yrs old   

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. Kids also receive funreport cards upon request with a checklist they can achieve to get to the next level... tick 8-10 boxes to advance to Orange level!

Court size: 3m × 8.23m or 6m × 10.97m
Tennis ball: red ball (25% compression)
Recommended racquet size: 21–23 inches

TG Orange Performance Programme

Age: 8-11 yrs old   

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. Players receive theirreport cards upon request which have a checklist for them to tick off; the checklist involves technical and tactical outcomes they need to achieve to move up a level to Green... tick 8-10 boxes to advance

Court size: 6.4m × 18.29m

Green players may be older children who are new to tennis or players of a good standard who have progressed through the Blue, Red and Orange stages. In this class, players receivereport cards upon request that, unlike Red and Orange, have a score of 1-3 for each technical and tactical outcome - a score of 21 would progress your child up a level to a new class.
