December School Holiday Programme (16th - 20th December 2019)
January School Holiday Programme ( 13th - 17tth January)
Albany Tennis Park school holiday programme is a fun half-day programme, where kids make friends on the court and better their tennis abilities. We focus on maintaining the level of each child by putting them in a specific group based on their age and ability, each coach knows what they need to do to help the child succeed and on the last day of Holiday Camp (Friday) we run a mini-tournament round-robin style.

The court is 3/4 the length of a full-sized court but uses the standard width of the singles court. An orange ball is 50% slower than a yellow ball, the same size as the yellow ball but much softer, and slower. orange focusses on hitting zones, controlling the ball, movement around the court and simple tactics on how to attack, rally and defend on the court.
The ball used in the Green stage has higher compression than the Red and Orange stages (75% of a yellow tennis ball) and children play on a full-size court. Green players may be older children who are new to tennis or players of a good standard who have progressed through the Blue, Red and Orange stages.
A full-size court with a fully pressurized ball is used, with our Silver and Gold stage. Players who have progressed through the Hot Shot stages or beginner teenagers will play within the giant stage.
