Programme | Healthy Tots |
| Age Range | Children aged 2 to 4 years | |
| Details | We take children from two years old and offer a structured introduction to tennis. They are encouraged to have lots of fun through games and exercises all aimed at developing hand-eye co-ordination, physical skills and a positive attitude towards sport. Basic tennis skills are introduced using soft sponge balls and mini tennis rackets. Sessions are held Tuesday daytime each week. |

Programme | Mini Tennis |
| Age Range | Players aged 4 to 10 years | |
| Details | The Mini Tennis Programme gradually introduces tennis skills to younger players using modified equipment i.e. softer balls, shorter and lighter rackets, smaller courts etc. Mini Tennis comprises three levels, Red. Orange and Green, relating to the colours of the different ball types used. As players get older and develop their skills they progress to the next level as detailed below. However, players can join the appropriate programme for their age at any time and will be grouped with others of a similar standard. We have an excellent track record in developing Mini Tennis players and currently we have three County Champions on our programme. |

Programme | Mini Red Tennis |
| Age Range | Players born in 2002 or later (8 & Under) | |
| Details | Red Tennis is an excellent way for young players to start out in tennis. Using a sponge ball, a Mini Tennis racket and a much smaller court (11 metres by 5.5 metres), the emphasis is very much on having fun. There are four levels within Red Tennis starting at Red 1 for beginners and leading up to Red 4 for performance players. |

 |
Programme | Mini Orange Tennis |
| Age Range | Players born in 2001 or 2002 | |
| Details | Orange Tennis is a great way for players to continue their progress from the red ball. It is played on a slightly larger court with bigger rackets and the orange ball is used, which is slightly firmer than that used for Mini Red. This is the next stage before playing on a full sized court. With the sessions focused on having fun, there are three levels within Orange Tennis starting at Orange 1 for beginners, up to Orange 3 for performance players. |

 |
Programme | Mini Green Tennis |
| Age Range | Players born in 2000 | |
| Details | Green is the next step for players to continue their progress from Red and Orange tennis. Playing on a full size tennis court with bigger rackets and using the Green ball, which is firmer than that used for Mini Orange, the emphasis is still for players to have a lot of fun. There are three levels within Green Tennis starting at Green 1 for beginners, leading up to Green 3 for performance players. |

Programme | Tennis |
| Age Range | Players born in 1999 or earlier | |
| Details | This is the next step after Mini Green Tennis for those players reaching 11 years old this year and/or for older juniors learning the game. It is played on a full tennis court, with full size rackets and full compression tennis balls, just like you see the professionals using. This is the next stage of tennis development whilst continuing to maintain a sense of fun and enjoyment for the players. There are four levels within Tennis starting at Tennis 1 for beginners, leading up to Tennis 4 for performance players. |
