JUNIOR TENNIS COACHING

I teach children from 3 years old both in groups and individually. Those between the ages of 4 and 10 will be taught in accordance with the Lawn Tennis Association Mini Tennis programme.

Mini Tennis is just like the real thing but with smaller courts, nets and rackets and lower-bouncing balls. There are three levels; Red, Orange and Green, each with their own court size and type of ball. This tailored approach, based on age and physical maturity enables players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age. The slower and lower bouncing balls make it far easier to learn the game.

I supply balls and nets and have rackets which can be loaned for initial lessons so that you can see if tennis is for your child without having to pay for any equipment. The youngest children will normally be taught indoors where courses will be put together at times and locations to meet demand.

I love teaching children, particularly the satisfaction of seeing them improve whilst enjoying themselves in a supportive environment as well as getting an excellent form of exercise.
