LTA Youth Red - Serve, rally and score

As your children enter this stage, they'll experience a game that closely resembles the full-paced tennis they see and admire. Our sessions include overarm serves, engaging rallies, and skillful volleys, bringing them closer to the real spirit of the sport.

Our expert coaches are dedicated to enhancing each child's coordination, balance, and speed, key components that are essential as they advance in their tennis skills. At this crucial developmental phase, we also introduce relaxed competition to gently ease players into the competitive side of tennis, fostering a healthy, spirited approach to matches.

We encourage parents and guardians to stay and participate in each session. Your involvement makes the learning process more interactive and enriching, significantly boosting your child's engagement and rate of progress. This unique approach not only accelerates skill development but also strengthens the bond between you and your child through shared moments of achievement and fun on the court.
