The objective of Rainbow Kidz is to build a clearer and more easily accessible training and competitive pathway for players aged 10 and under. The focus is on being introduced to competition and learn the rules for matchplay. The aim is to give skills for life, get children into the game improve tennis skills and learn the rules so when they transition into the u/12 section they are more confident and prepared.

Red Ball players will play on Saturday ONLY. Red ball is suitable for player aged U/8 and younger. Matches are played in the service boxes using 1-2-3-4 scoring.
