How a session runs
Sixty minutes, five parts
Every group session at Crown Courts follows the same shape, so players always know what comes next and parents know what they are paying for.
- 01
Warm up with the ball
Ten minutes of footwork ladders and mini tennis. No standing in queues.
- 02
One skill, taught well
A single focus per session: a grip, a swing shape or a serve toss.
- 03
Drill it under pressure
Live ball drills with targets, scores and a little noise.
- 04
Play points
Every session ends in games, because tennis is a game first.
- 05
Cool down and one note
Stretches in the shade and one thing to practise before next time.
Ball stages
Slower balls, smaller courts, faster progress
Children learn faster with balls that bounce at their height. We follow the international ball stages from red to yellow.
| Stage | Ball | Court | Ages | Racket length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Crowns | Red, 75 percent slower | 11 metres | 4 to 7 | 19 to 23 inches |
| Mini Crowns | Orange, then green | 18 metres, then full | 8 to 10 | 23 to 25 inches |
| Juniors | Yellow | Full court | 11 to 17 | 25 to 27 inches |
| Adults | Yellow | Full court | 18 and up | 27 inches |
For parents
The small things that matter
Safeguarding first
Two adults on every junior court, a signed pickup list and a WhatsApp message when your child leaves.
Water and shade
Cold water stations by every court and drinks breaks every 15 minutes in hot months.
Traffic friendly times
Sessions at 4pm and 5:15pm so you can collect from school and avoid the worst of the Maitama traffic.
Termly reports
A short written report and a video clip of your child’s serve every term.
Rackets to borrow
Juniors borrow rackets free for their first month while you work out the right size.
Make-up sessions
Miss a session for illness and we will book a make-up slot within the term.
