Junior Tennis Program
“Junior programs bridge the gap between tiny tennis and elite junior programs. The aims are to introduce our juniors to the full size court and version of the game. Here they begin to learn more advanced stoke production and tactics for Singles & Doubles. It’s at this level that our juniors can choose to play competition and represent their club.”

Steve Riley, Head Coach

The natural progression for young tennis players who are ready to move on from Tiny
Tennis is to progress to Junior Tennis. Junior Tennis at RT can be divided into 2 groups:

	Pre Competition Coaching
	Competition Coaching
	-	A grade
	-	B grade
	-	C grade
	-	D grade

Riley Tennis offers tennis coaching to cater for all players of differing ages and standards from D grades through to A grades. All groups have a maximum of 1:5 coach / student ratio.

Riley Tennis endeavours to use the Game Based Approach which promotes self learning and discovery through selecting structured games and drills, encouraging our players to learn whilst they play.

Types of Coaching Available
Group Coaching 45 minutes (1:5) Semi Private Lessons 45 - 60 minutes Private Lesson 30 – 60 minutes
	Pre Competition Coaching
	The focus here is still on the basics of tennis including the development of techniques and stroke production for all areas of the game, whilst using a full-sized court and competition tennis balls.
	Competition Coaching
	In competition coaching our focus moves onto more advanced stroke production whilst playing varied matches including regulated doubles and singles that challenge our players to compete while under pressure with simulated match conditions. As players improve they will be progressed into higher groups that are more appropriate to their standard. (Starting from D groups through to A groups)
