FOUNDATION LEVEL
LTA YOUTH CLASSES
We run tennis lesson for children aged 4 – 18, packed full of fun games and dynamic training. We want kids to bring all their energy to tennis; no ‘quiet please’ needed here.
Our specialist coaches will make sure every child has the best start to their tennis journey in a safe and inclusive environment. Sessions cater to all abilities, so no one gets left behind.
LTA Youth has five stages:
- Blue: 4-6 years - Learn the basics
- Red: 6-8 years - Serve, rally and score
- Orange: 8-9 years - Develop a rounded game
- Green: 9-10 years - Test your skills
- Yellow: 10+ years - Take your skills further
Along with developing their tennis skills, your child will also learn multiple life skills whilst achieving a sense of accomplishment and boosting self-esteem.
N.B. Although we’ve assigned ages to each stage these are just a guide. We’ll always put children in the relevant group based on their ability.
Coach to player ratio
All our classes have a maximum of 10 children per class on 2 courts (5 players per court) ensuring your child receives the highest quality of coaching.
Qualified coaches
All our coaches are experienced LTA qualified coaches supported by internally trained junior players working toward their LTA qualifications. Our coaches have an enhanced DBS checked to give you the assurance of the highest standard.
Before chosing a coach, do some research.
Additional Information
- Is the coach LTA qualified? If yes, then you know he/she is trained to coach tennis.
- Is the coach at least LTA Level 3? Level 3 is the minimum LTA entry for one-to-one coaching (Level 1 & 2 are Coach Assistants only with a basic technical knowledge and are not insured by the LTA for one-to-one lessons).
- Has the coach got a website? Very often coaches will have their own website where they can give more information on their experience, extra qualifications and courses attended (i.e. Strength & conditioning, time spent with international level coaches, etc...), philosophy, and many more. Not all Level 3 coaches are equal, hence the importance of learning more before chosing your coach.
- Is the coach LTA Accredited? if yes, then you know they have a current DBS, 1st Aid, safeguarding and child protection trained and insured.
