• Net Height: 80cm in the middle of the net
• Ball: A foam or felt ball is used which is larger and 75% slower than a regular ball

Hotshots Orange is a great way for players to continue their progress from Hotshots Red and it is aimed at players aged 8 to 10 years old.

It is played with shorter rackets and softer balls, whilst the courts are longer and wider than red ball tennis, they are still smaller than a full sized court, allowing young players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.

• Court size: 18m x 6.5m
• Net Height: 80cm in the middle of the net
• Ball: An orange ball is used which is 50% slower than a yellow ball, giving players control at this early stage of development.
• Racket: A 23”-25” racket is recommended depending upon the strength and size of the player.

• Net Height: Full net height
• Ball: A green ball is used, which is 25% slower than a yellow ball.

Yellow Ball tennis is the complete version of the game played on a regulation size tennis court using full sized rackets and full yellow tennis balls. This is the perfect progression for players to develop from the Hotshots program or for older children looking to take up the game at a later stage.

The main focus at this stage is the technical developments and linking them with tactical situations within the game.

Court size: Normal Sized Court

Net Height: Full net height

Ball: A yellow ball is used.

Racket: A full sized racket of 27” should be used.
