HOW IT WORKS...

Mini Tennis Green is a great way for players to continue their progress from Mini Tennis Orange. It is played on a full size tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls which are a little softer than yellow balls. It’s the next stage before moving on to full compression yellow balls on a full sized court and helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game.

There is also the chance to Earn Your Stripes through the LTA Mini Tennis Green Rally Awards.
