Kids learn to play with modified equipment suited to their age and ability. As they improve the courts get bigger and balls smaller and harder.

 

Kids have set competency milestones that need to be achieved in order to progress through each stage. They progress from Red Ball, through Orange Ball and into Green Ball. This provides them with a pathway to progress through.

 

All group lessons focus on the technical and tactical elements of the game in the hour long sessions.  Included in the group lesson enrolments, all Red, Orange and Green Ball kids kids get to participate in hour long match play sessions on designated days in the week.  Match play is a crucial part of their tennis development as they learn scoring, tactics, consistency, and deal with winning and losing. Parents will be required to register for the match play sessions each week as numbers are limited.

Kids are grouped together based on their ability and enjoy a range of challenging drills and match play scenarios.  We run four squads in the evenings: Monday and Wednesday evening for advanced and advanced intermediate players.    Tuesday evenings we run two squads, one for invited Orange Ball players and the other for invited Green Ball players. Thursday evenings are for teenage girls.  Most kids in our squads also have group lessons during the week and play fixtures of some sorts on Saturday’s.

Monday and Wednesday evening squad players have set match play sessions assigned on 5 Saturday afternoons during the term.

Squad sessions cost $45 per session.

Player to coach ratio does not exceed 6:1. Focus on technical and tactical elements of the game. Hit as many balls as possible in a group of kids of similar ability.  Lessons normally run for an hour.

For those Green Ball kids looking for some match play Brookfield Tennis Centre participates in the Tennis Brisbane Super League fixtures program on Saturday afternoons – teams are selected, registered and graded based on player ability.  For those looking for an introduction to fixtures there is also the Saturday afternoon GBJT program to consider.

One on one lessons with a coach for either half an hour or an hour. Book in a block or just a one off to iron out a few things. Our qualified coaches will focus in on what you need.  A great way to compliment a group lesson and or squad sessions. Open for players of all ages and abilities.

Brain Buzz is a specialised program designed to assist with the development of little kiddies fundamental perceptual motor skills.  We assist with the development of kids aged 3yrs – 5yrs with their throwing, balancing, tracking moving objects, striking balls and catching.  These are skills that are not only necessary for a solid tennis foundation, but for brain development, early literacy and numeracy. Classes are generally limited to three kids per coach but can go to 4 depending on the developmental abilities of the kids.
