Choose The Right Level
Level 1 – Beginner
Typically suited to younger players within this age group who are new to tennis and building basic coordination, balance, and movement skills.
Level 2 – Developing Player
Typically suited to older players within this age group, including beginners, or players progressing from Level 1 and building greater confidence with ball skills, movement, and early rally foundations.
Players are grouped to ensure the best learning environment for each child.
If unsure, select the level that best matches your child’s age.
