We are now in year 4 on the performance tennis pathway. Children who attend these squads twice a week are usually in school year 4 or 5; 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 a smaller and faster-bouncing tennis ball, whilst navigating a new court size over the big net. This may take some time and they have to adapt the skills they have already learnt. Later in the year, they will continue to develop an all-court game from attacking at the baseline to finishing points off at the net! 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 orange ball county matches.

Mon & Fri 4.30-6.00pm
