Red Youth — Ages 5–8

Learn to serve, rally and score.

Red Youth is where tennis really starts to take shape. Using smaller courts and softer red balls, players develop their ability to serve, rally, volley and move effectively around the court.

Sessions combine technical development with fun games and activities, helping children improve their coordination, balance, agility and speed. Players are also introduced to scoring, rules and relaxed competition as they become more confident playing points.

The aim is to develop confident young players who can serve, rally, score and enjoy playing the game.

Pay & Play

Bookings

We do not accept cash payments and therefore you must book and pay in advance online. All pay & play sessions will be filled on a first come, first served basis. We will not accept anyone who has not pre-booked, therefore you must book and pay through the book button at the side of the session. Sorry for any inconvenience caused but this system is to allow us to control the number of players attending the session and ensure coaches can deliver a quality coaching session.

Refunds and Cancellations

All sessions will be running unless you hear from the coach prior to the start time. The coach will contact you on the contact number you provided in the booking process to inform you of a cancelled session.

If you can no longer make the Pay & Play session and you wish to ask for a refund you must contact Matt at least 24 hours before the session is due to start so your booking can be refunded and your space can be filled by another player. If less than 24 hours’ notice is given no refund will be issued.

Please note we do not carry credit across, so refunds will be issued and will take 5-10 days to be received. If a session is cancelled before the start, or if less than 1/3 of the session has been completed, then a full refund will be issued.  If more than 1/3 of the session is completed, no refund will be given.
