COURSES
Swansea Tennis Centre are always running free open days and taster sessions so keep your eyes peeled for these great offers!
Mini Red 9 - Ages 3-8 from £5 per session
(Tiny Tots 3-5)
During the initial stages of our Tiny Tots & Mini Red sessions we aim to develop your child’s fundamental motor skills alongside their basic tennis skills, this will assist them in everyday life and set them up for tennis.
We assist the development of their hand/ eye co-ordination, balance, agility and other essential skills that children will need through their childhood and even adulthood.
We will also teach them the basics of tennis and our aim is to have children hitting a wide variety of shots including forehands, backhands, volley’s and serves.
Mini Orange - Ages 8-9 from £6 per session
Our Mini Orange courses are the next age group from Mini Red, we look at further developing the basic ‘fundamental motor skills’. Mini Orange is played on a slightly smaller than full size court with compressed orange balls which move at 50% of the speed of a full ball, ensuring time to adjust to shots and position on court.
There will be focus on tactics and match strategy as well as positioning and shot placement as we prepare the children for the next stage (Mini Green).
At Mini Green level we open up the full court (not including the tramlines) for the children to play in for the first time, allowing the children to experience what depth of shots they will be hitting when it comes to playing full ball.
With the green ball moving at 75% of the speed of a full ball, it allows more time for the children to adjust and adapt with the flight of the ball, and this helps the children both read the ball movement and read the game.
Mini Green - Ages 9-10 from £6 per session
Our Junior sessions are the first time the children will experience using full tennis balls on a full size court as the children should now have grown and developed enough to be able to play with a full ball.
We look here at controlling the ball as it will bounce higher and move faster giving the children less time to adjust and read the play.
Competitions will be advertised and announced by the coaches where players can improve their LTA ranking.
Junior - Ages 11+ from £6 per session
Adult - Ages 18+ from £8 per session
The adult sessions run at three different levels: beginner, improver and advanced so we can accommodate you no matter what standard you play at. We try and encourage players to compete and we have adult leagues which ensure regular matches
Instead we have our adult leagues which ensure regular matches against tough opposition as well as our contacts board filled with adults contact details.
We also run adult social evenings which are advertised through the year.
