Junior Tennis Balls - Sponge, Red, Orange & Green

Junior tennis balls help kids learn tennis as they are designed to bounce less and move at a slower pace compared to normal tennis balls. There are 3 main types of junior tennis balls:

Red Stage Tennis Balls (75% slower, ages 8 and under) - This is the first stage of Mini Tennis and is very important for building skills and confidence. The emphasis is on fundamental skills such as movement and co-ordination, and above all else fun! Slightly larger than standard balls for easier play.

Orange Stage Tennis Balls (50% slower, ages 9 to 10) - This introduces children to playing on a 3/4 length tennis court. The low bounce Mini Tennis Orange ball slows the game down to a speed that gives players time to play good basic tennis shots and enables them to have maximum fun playing the game!

Green Stage Tennis Balls (25% slower, ages 11 & up) - This is the final stage before children move to tennis. Played on a full size tennis court, the Mini Tennis Green ball is slightly lower bouncing than a normal tennis ball and helps the children to use good technique and rally consistently.
