Term 2 2026 Junior Coaching
Juniors/Hot Shots:
Blue Stage (Generally 4-5 year olds) - developing fundamental motor skills, movement, coordination, and racket and ball skills, necessary to the game of tennis.
Red Stage (Generally 6-9 year olds)- playing across the court using a modified net, balls (25% compression), and racquets. We bring the game down to the size of the child. Emphasis on developing movement and coordination while working together with others.
Orange Stage (Generally 8-13 year olds)- playing across the full net but in a modified court size using orange balls (50% compression). Players are encouraged to explore the court space and to start to work on the basic principles and strategies of playing tennis.
Green Stage (9-15 year olds)- Up to full court play using green balls (75% compression). This is the transition stage to prepare players for playing matches in junior interclub.
Junior Interclub - Off season competetive junior players. Invitation only. If you would like to practice with junior interclub players and have not been personally invited, please contact Jade by email: coach@coldstreamtennis.co.nz or text/call: 0273647470.
