Mini-Juniors & Juniors
RHTC is a County Mini Tennis Centre and the programme is organised into the following levels;
RED: The red level is played on a badminton size court, using small rackets and foam balls. This is an ideal starting point for young beginners allowing them to work on basic technique and rules of tennis.
ORANGE: The orange level is the next stage with a three quarter size tennis court and soft transitional tennis balls being used. This allows players to build up confidence and strength in their strokes. At this stage it is also possible to see whether a player will be more suited to a fast track route.
GREEN: The final stage of our mini tennis programme is played on a full size tennis court using a transitional ball. This stage is preparing the player for the move to the traditional high pressurised and higher bouncing ball. Players' rallying and matchplay skills will also be developed.
We also run numerous sessions throughout the week which cater for juniors of all ages who like to play tennis in a less intense environment. These sessions are a mixture of drills and match play.

The Rodway Hill Academy System
(By invitation to Junior Members).
Rodway is committed to producing quality players who will go on to compete at a high standard. We are recognised as a County Performance Centre and our Academy System allows players to progress at their own pace in reaching their OWN highest possible standard.
Players are expected to show a high level of commitment and discipline with all players required to attend a minimum of 2 squads per week. They are also required to have a full tournament schedule.
Mini Academy: This squad is for 6 - 9/10 yr olds who are showing potential and need to be fast tracked. All players on this squad must attend a minimum of 3 squads per week. Many of these players would have started on our Mini Tennis programme. The training concentrates on technique and better match play awareness.
Junior Academy A and B: The A and B squads consist of stronger players ranging from 7-15yrs of age. These sqauds are designed to improve players' ability to work in a disciplined structure and to begin to take control of their own tennis training. This is done by making them aware of their strengths and weaknesses and educating them to use the sessions to work on specific areas of their game. 2-3 sessions per week.
Junior Academy Elite: For our strongest players 12-17 yrs who are looking to train in an intensive environment. This squad will be preparing players for the jump to their next level whether that be Senior or high level Junior tennis. Minimum 3 times per week.
