Junior Tennis
Coaching for young players from mini tennis (age 3+) to performance squads with LTA coaches.
Start growing Tennis skills
Tennis might consist of six basic strokes, but there is much more to this great game than just swinging a racquet. It calls for balance, co-ordination, agility, movement, technique, tactics and problem-solving.
Kids’ tennis lessons are not just a fantastic way to keep your young ones active – they include many skills that will stand them in good stead off the court too.
Our tennis skills pathway caters for children as young as three and takes them on a journey that covers all the basics, through to match play ability.
And just in case you’re wondering, the six strokes we refer to are: the serve, forehand groundstroke, backhand groundstroke, forehand volley, backhand volley, and the overhead smash.
Come and learn them all – and more – at Bolton Arena.
