Red Stage

Recommended for Ages 5–8+

Children develop fundamental tennis skills and learn simple rally concepts through fun, game-based activities. Using softer red balls, 19–23 inch racquets, and smaller courts suited to their size and ability, players build coordination, movement, and confidence in an enjoyable learning environment.
