The Courts

With three different types of courts available, there’s something to suit everyone’s needs.

Alternatively, the six grass courts, open between May and September weather permitting, are all completed to the Wimbledon specification, providing players with the best possible experience on grass during the summer months, set in the idyllic setting of the West Gardens.

Non-Members and Members Junior Tennis Programme

Stoke Park’s Junior Tennis Programme offers kids from 4-17 years of age, the opportunity to develop their tennis skills through the LTA’s Mini Tennis Rating Scheme. Not only is this a great way for juniors to take their first steps into tennis, but offers more chances to compete against players of a similar standard. With the new season starting from the 1^st April until the 31^st August, the programme takes place after school and during term time, giving kids the chance to enhance their level of playing in a fun environment.

The programme starts with Mini Aces and Reds, for kids aged 4-6 years old, with sessions aimed at developing their ABC’s (Agility, Balance and Co-ordination) and speed, ball and racquet skills, whilst most importantly, having fun!

At Mini Orange level, the game is played on a slightly larger court with low compression balls which are not quite as hard as green/yellow balls, allowing for better control to help enhance the player’s technical development.

Next, Mini Green’s use a full sized court is used with a ball that is slightly lighter and softer than a full sized tennis ball, aiming to encourage longer rallies. Finally the last level is Yellow Teens aimed for children aged 11 years and older. Here, the game is played on a full sized court, with the net at full height, aiming to put any technical development from the mini development into practice.
