Red and Blue sessions don’t need to be stressful—in fact, they can be dynamic, engaging, and a key part of a player’s long-term development. This course will show you how to teach the formative skills that allow players aged 4 to 8 to play the game for a lifetime. By encouraging interactive play, you can be released from being a ball feeder and focus on high-quality coaching.
Rally at Red was developed by Luke House, the 2018 National Coach of the Year and Head of Tennis and U10 Performance at Virtus (including the acclaimed Bromley Tennis Centre).
On the course, you’ll:
- Break down the stages of rallying so that any player can experience success
- Understand the key receiving skills that are vital at the Red and Blue stages
- Learn options for organising groups effectively and how to work with Tennis Leaders and Assistants to enhance session quality
- Learn how to develop spatial awareness, problem-solving, and social skills in players
“The ideas in Rally at Red genuinely changed the way I run sessions. I never thought rallying was an option for players so young.”
