TENNIS PATHWAY

 

Looking for the Badminton or Squash pathway? Click here.

The ARC Youth Racquet Pathway is your child’s journey through Tennis. It comprises of a wide range of available LTA Youth sessions focussing on different aspects of the game. Our aim is to find the right level of challenge for your child so that they can work on skills that are right for them, whilst still having loads of fun.

 
 

Kids can move up, down, left and right as they progress through their Tennis journey, navigating different ball colours, court sizes, physiological changes and social challenges.

At the end of every term we’ll review which session we think is most appropriate for your child by giving them an achievement card, to celebrate where they’ve excelled, give them some things to keep working on and to let you know if we think it’s time for them to move to a different session.

Whether your child is on Level 4 or Level 1, we’ll equally value everyone and our focus will remain the same: We want to ensure your child keeps enjoying Tennis and keeps improving right the way into adulthood so that they can continue to receive the many health & wellbeing benefits that racquet sport provides.
