Red is where most children start playing proper tennis: slower red balls, a mini court and nets their size, so rallies come quickly. There are three levels. Red 1 is about keeping the ball going, Red 2 adds serving and scoring, and Red 3 gets them ready for matches and the move up to Orange. Not sure which? Use Find the right group, or book a free trial.
