Mini Tennis Squads

Mini Tennis at Pavilion and Avenue Tennis Club, Hove, is exactly what the name suggests – the game of tennis modified for younger or inexperienced players, in which all the skills and tactics of the real game can be learned and used. Based in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, the club offers weekly coaching programmes

Mini Tennis works by offering three colour-coded stages; red 8U, orange 9U and green 10U – following the sequence of traffic lights – and each stage uses courts, rackets and types of ball that are right for children. A child can graduate from red to orange to green as they get better, ensuring that they are always playing at a level that feels comfortable to them.
