In 2003, Nick achieved Mini Tennis Accreditation for Hythe LTC-which means that we were now able to offer a player aged under 10 at least 2 different days/times for coaching, regular competition and most importantly, appropriate equipment for each age of player. Mini Tennis Red players (aged 4-8) play across the width of a full sized court with a mini net, smaller rackets and larger, softer balls-effectively making tennis possible for their age and height! Mini Tennis Orange is played over the Full sized net with a base line half way between the full court baseline and service line and Mini Tennis Green is Full court but with a slightly softer ball. |
