children's Coaching courses

Huntingdon Tennis Centre is an LTA Performance Satellite Club having obtained this status through the quality and extent of the training offered to the young people who attend the specialised coaching courses run by our LTA licensed coaches. We were the first club in Cambridgeshire to be recognised as such.

Children can start playing for fun from 2 yrs old in Toddlers & Whackit sessions. Mini Tennis courses aim to develop skills from basic hand/eye co-ordination to match play. They progress to the Junior Club for additional development and they can then enter further competitions or play for fun. Once at a given standard they are invited to join in the Adult Club Sessions and Teams. The elite players move on to Performance coaching where an individual programme is planned out for training and tournaments, see Talent ID. At this stage they will be playing at County level or above and as such will be invited to attend a High Performance Club.

The Club follows the specifications and guidelines of Mini Tennis laid down by the LTA for court size, net height, ball size & composition and racket length depending on the age & height of each child. Beginners start at Mini Red level and play on small sized courts with ‘red’ sponge balls. With improved ability they move on to specified Mini Orange courts playing with ‘orange’ balls until reaching Mini Green level when play takes place on full size courts size with ‘green’ balls.

Coaches structure their sessions to enable the children to obtain an LTA ‘mini rating’, click here for more info. The Centre is one of the venues for Mini Tournaments, see our mini teams and successes.

Check out details of current Courses and Camps, the latter are fun sessions organised as part of each school holiday.

If you want to tire out an exuberant Toddler from 2years old, why not try the Toddler sessions, click here for details. These can be pre-booked or used as 'drop-in' sessions

As expected we follow strict guidelines when dealing with children so please read our terms and conditions, click here.
