Mini Tennis Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Red. It is typically for players aged 8 and 9 but also for younger players who are more advanced.

What does the program entail?

  • It is played with shorter rackets and orange balls (softer than green dotted balls – 50% pressurized).
  • The courts are bigger and wider than the mini red stage (3/4 of the full court) but still smaller than full-size tennis courts. This allows the players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.
  • It is the stage right before playing on a full sized court and helps players develop different shots and tactics.
