LTA Youth 1: Fun, social and recreational option
LTA Youth 1 is for juniors that have not played tennis before or have little experience in the sport. The tennis programme focuses on improving tennis ability, confidence on the court and light competition in a positive and fun environment. We start at learning the basics and focus on the fundamentals of tennis with the potential to develop into LTA Youth 2 at STTA. No experience at all is required to join STTA LTA Youth 1.
LTA Youth 2: Performance option
​
LTA Youth 2 is tailored towards juniors who are committed to their training with an aim to maximise their potential as a tennis player. The performance programme is for tennis players who want to take their game to the next level. The training includes drills, point play and an emphasis on tactics during game situations. It is required to train at least twice a week and to compete on a regular basis.
