We are now in year 5 on the performance tennis pathway. Children who attend these squads twice a week are usually in school year 5 or 6; they may be county players or aspiring county players. By this stage, they will have had plenty of experience with county tennis and competing in external LTA weekend tournaments. During this year the players will have new challenges, they will be exposed to the green ball which is one stage away from being on yellow ball and again the court size will increase to the full-court. At this stage, a lot a child’s learning is about the tactical strategies needed, shot selection and gameplay situations in singles. A doubles theme will run throughout the year: doubles has a vital set of skills to learn; not only is it fun but they will play doubles in green ball county matches.
