Mini Tennis, as the name suggests, is the game of tennis designed especially for children, aged in between 4 years to 11 years. Mini tennis is the modified version of tennis for younger or inexperienced players, in which all the skills and tactics of the real game is learned and used. It offers an exciting and colourful introduction to the game that helps in sustaining a young player's interest in the game and gives them a desire to play tennis for life.

Mini Tennis is an early introduction to tennis, with emphasis on developing agility, balance and coordination which are fundamental skills to have in place when moving onto Mini-Tennis Red. There are special training sessions for the children interested in mini tennis. These sessions involves various exercises in the form of a circuit that prepares the child for the game, whilst getting them used to working with others around them.

Based on the player's age, three courses have been designed which is followed globally. They are Red course, Orange Course and Green Course.

Mini Tennis Red Courses: This course has been specially designed for the beginners. Children aged between 4 to 7 years needs to get started from this course.

After successfully completing the red course and learning the basics of the game, a child enters the orange course. Here they play on a larger court with low compression tennis balls.

Now comes the most interested part of mini tennis: Awards. Each colour stage has 3 levels. Level 3 is the most basic and level 1 is the most advanced. Each level has 5 sections covering physical skill, technical skill, tactical achievement, sportsmanship and off court commitment.

There are three tasks in each section. Once all 15 tasks of that level have been completed the child receives a certificate and a medal.
