Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) - Mini Tennis
Specially designed for young players and organised by LTA Licensed Coaches it uses smaller rackets, smaller courts and special balls. It’s intended to be fun, energetic, and easy to play. It is open to any age, size or level of skill.

Mini tennis is a game aimed at anyone from four years old upwards. It’s designed to be a progressive and enjoyable way for children to learn the game of tennis. 
There are three levels –

• Red - learn the basics.
• Orange - develop skills on a ¾ size court.
• Green - playing on a full tennis court.

Eventually young players progress onto full size tennis.

LTA Kids’ Zones
Kids’ Zones are purpose-built areas where young players can enjoy developing their tennis & fitness. They are normally brightly painted 11m x 5.5m - Mini Tennis Courts (Red Game) with red and blue 'quarters' for coaching purposes.
Ideally, a Kids Zone should also have;

• A practice wall.
• Low level fencing so that parents may watch.
• A basketball hoop.

Can be augmented with Activity Markings - Fitness and movement patterns painted on the play surface and surrounding walls. t

LTA Activity Markings
A further development of Kids’ Zones is the recent design and introduction of Mini Tennis Activity Markings.

Markings are a variety of bright coloured patterns, lines and shapes; they are designed to help stimulate and develop;

• Fitness.
• Coordination.
• Tennis Skills.

Fitness and movement patterns are painted on the play surface and any surrounding walls; creating an additional ‘activity’ area within the Kids’ Zone.
