Minis and Juniors Tennis Classes
Our comprehensive minis and juniors tennis programme offers a range of classes for children of all ages and abilities.
Kids' Tennis Classes at Oriam
The launch of our brand new tennis centre will see the introduction of our action-packed kids' tennis classes for children aged 3 and over. Our programme offers a great introduction to tennis, it will develop your child’s skills and even build their potential to be the next Andy Murray or Emma Radacanu. Through our programme, we will support and develop the skills of children at mini, junior and teen level, to help them grow as players, stay active and most importantly have fun.
Oriam Mini Tennis Programme
At Oriam Indoor Tennis Centre, we use the nationally recognised LTA Youth/Mini Tennis model which is a great introduction to the sport for young children aged between 3 and 10 years old. It’s just like the real thing, but with smaller courts, nets and rackets and lower-bouncing balls. In addition to our Pre-School Tots ‘Blue’ sessions, there are three levels of Mini Tennis; Red, Orange and Green, each with their own court size, type of ball and lesson structure. This tailored approach, based on age and physical maturity enables players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age whilst moving up the colour levels developing their confidence and skill set.
Launching January 2024
Mini Blue: Ages 3 - 5
This introduction to tennis will include lots of fun games, ball skills, variety and exercises to improve their balance, agility and co-ordination while learning how to play the sport we love! At this stage it’s not about winning or losing, it’s getting to grips with the basics in a safe and structured environment on a small court with mini racquets and sponge balls.
Court Size: The court size for pre school tots is dimensions of 11m x 5.5 (similar to a badminton court).
Equipment: A sponge ball and mini racquet size 17" - 21" is recommended.

Oriam Junior Tennis Programme
Once the players have worked through the mini tennis levels (Pre-school Blue through to Mini Green), its time to time to find your game as we make the jump from mini tennis into the Junior age groups. We break this down into Bronze, Silver and Gold with ability levels 1 & 2 based on age and competence. The Junior Tennis Programme typically caters for ages P6 through to S6 and is played on a full size court with normal yellow tennis balls. We pledge to offer a varied and progressive programme that will keep juniors and teenagers engaged and in love with the sport for life whilst developing solid foundations and a love for competition!

We will be looking more at tactical development and playing points looking at how to serve and return effectively.
