Looking for the perfect way to prepare your child for full-court tennis?

Our Green Stage Program is designed for kids aged 10 to 12+ years, giving them the skills, confidence, and experience to transition seamlessly to full-court tennis. Using a full-size court, lightweight racquets, and green balls (75% compression), we help your child take their game to the next level. The green ball bounces higher and faster than the orange ball, introducing kids to the speed and dynamics of standard tennis.

This stage is the final stepping stone before transitioning to the yellow ball and full-scale competition. Whether they’re mastering their serve, rallying with friends, or building matchplay strategies, this program ensures they’re ready for every challenge the court throws their way. Let’s set the foundation for competitive play and a lifelong love of tennis!

    Don’t have a racquet? No worries – we’ve got spare racquets on hand to get them started!
  • Comfortable Activewear: Clothes they can move in easily.
  • Sports Shoes: Proper sneakers with non-marking soles – these are usually light-coloured (like white, beige, or grey) and specially designed to avoid leaving scuff marks or streaks on the court surface. If you’re unsure, look for a “non-marking” label or test them on a light-coloured surface.
  • Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is key to keeping them in the game!
  • Hat and Sunscreen: Protection from the sun is always a must.
