Choose The Right Level
Level 1 — Beginner / Developing
Typically suited to younger players within this age group who are new to tennis, or players building consistency, confidence, and control.
10-year-old beginners are recommended to start in our Orange Ball program.
Level 2 — Older Players / Developing
Typically suited to older players within this age group, including beginners, or players developing stronger consistency, improving shot selection, and becoming more confident in match play.
Players are grouped to ensure the best learning environment for each child.
If unsure, select the level that best matches your child’s age.
