Juniors/Hot Shots

All Junior coaching will re-commence the week of 12 October 2026

Blue Stage (Generally 4-5 year olds) - Developing fundamental motor skills, movement, coordination, and racket and ball skills, specific 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 - Junior Interclub (9-16 year olds) - Weekly matches (in term 4 2026 & term 1 2027) against other clubs in North Canterbury. Split into two grades: Beginners Grade (formerly known as D Grade) & Junior Open Grade (Junior A, B, C grades combined).
