Junior Tennis
The Holbrook Club now has a thriving junior program with excellent turnouts at all age levels and some promising players coming through. With older junior members now joining the adults for box leagues, tournaments and coaching.
Red Level (Indoors/ foam ball) Ages 8 & under born in 2001 or later.
Orange Level (Outdoors/ restricted court, lower net and lighter ball.) Ages 9 & under born in 2000 (or 2001 when Red 1 level is achieved).
Green Level (Outdoors/full court, ball 40% lighter) Age 10 born in '99 only.
Yellow Ball (Outdoors/full court, regular ball) Ages 13 and upward.
Players within each group have been given a standard level:
3 = beginner skills at any given level,
2 = showing rallying and serving skills but not quite yet at full match-play level
1 = match-player level at which the player will be expected to enter Sussex LTA events for this age group run at The Holbrook Club and other events elsewhere in Sussex.
Our Yellow Ball match-player level would be divided into Squad A & B, for Boys and Girls. An 'A' squad player would play in club or LTA Junior tournaments at their respective age group.
*NEW* Mini Tennis Red Level 3 (Beginners) Age 5-6
The session covers ball skills and physical co-ordination whilst having lots of fun! In the dark winter months we shall be converting the club's squash courts into mini tennis courts and during better weather we will either be in the sports hall or on the outdoors courts.
