2024 Term 1 Coaching dates:
Please contact Sarah now to join. Planned dates for coaching are below.
8 lessons (Designed for Primary and Intermediate pupils.
Red Ball newbie 4-6 years, returning 7-8 years.
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.
Orange Ball 8-10 years
(if completed Red Ball previously)
After mastering the Red stage this stage the players are able to develop a complete technical range. Modified Orange Balls (50% compression) fly slower through the air and bounce in the hitting zone of the player. This fast tracks their stroke development and allows them to have longer rallies and hit more tennis balls. With the increased dimensions from 1/2 court, players tracking improves and court awareness.
Green Ball 11 years and older
The ball used in the Green stage has a higher compression than the Red and Orange stages (75% of a yellow tennis ball) and children play on a full-size court. Green players may be older children who are new to tennis or players of a good standard who have progressed through the Red and Orange stages. This is where the players will develop a full understanding of tennis fundamentals and rules.
Yellow Ball
Players who have progressed from Hot Shots Green will find the Yellow Ball Squads Program the perfect opportunity to keep learning the sport and/or keep playing in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
