Orange Ball

Develop consistency, control, and real match play skills

The most important stage for long-term development — where players build consistency, improve control, and begin to play structured points.

Our goal is simple — to help your child develop confidence, improve their skills, and enjoy playing real tennis each week.

Who It’s For

• Children aged 8–10 years+
• Players who are new to tennis or developing their skills
• Players ready to improve consistency, control, and start playing structured points

Ideal for players building from early rallying into more advanced game play.

What You’ll Experience

Each session is designed to challenge players while keeping them engaged and progressing.

• Development of all key strokes, including forehands, backhands, serves, volleys and overheads
• Improved rally consistency and control
• Movement and positioning across the court
• Introduction to structured point play and scoring

Players begin to develop the ability to:

• Rally with consistency and control
• Direct the ball with greater accuracy
• Play points with basic tactics and decision-making

All within a supportive environment where every player can improve.

Choose The Right Level

Players are grouped to ensure the best learning environment for each child.

If unsure, select the level that best matches your child’s age.

How It Works

Our junior group programs run on a term basis, helping players build consistency, confidence, and real progress over time.

• Choose a class time that suits your schedule
• Attend the same session each week
• Follow a structured program designed for your child’s level
• Players progress through levels as they develop

Tennis is a lifelong sport, and this is where your child builds a strong foundation for long-term development.
