Junior Coaching
Hoole LTC is offering members a range of courses for all ages and standards of play. To help you decide on an appropriate level of course I have given a brief description of each below.
Mini Tennis Red: This is the first stage of learning to play tennis with the activities designed for 4-7 year olds. The emphasis is on developing core skills to improve movement and ball control. Players are taught basic playing techniques, how to rally and are introduced to the rules of the game. There are also some fun competitions.
Mini Tennis Orange: Players who are competent at rallying in a Red Court are encouraged to progress to Mini Tennis Orange with the use of a larger court, higher bouncing ball and longer rackets. The emphasis remains on developing movement, ball skills and improving racket control/technique.
Mini Tennis Green: Players who have become competent in the range of strokes, including over-arm serves, on an Orange Court and who have developed an understanding of match play are ready to move to Green level. This game is the last progression before moving to full tennis. Played on a full size court with slightly lower compression balls, players can more easily develop a good technique. There is more emphasis on competition and the tactical side of the game at this stage.
Intermediate Tennis: suitable for players aged 11 to 16 years more technically competent at carrying out the strokes of the game and with some understanding of match play. Players receive instruction on developing more advanced techniques with a greater emphasis on learning tactics for match play.
