Kidsles
You can't start early enough
You can't start playing tennis early enough and that's why we offer lessons especially for kids at TPC Gaasperpark! The summer classes start on Monday April 3 and last until October 2, but it is perfectly possible to register. The season consists of 19 lessons (17 guaranteed!) and each lesson lasts 45 minutes. Do you want to train twice a week? Then choose the 'flex' option in the table below.
The options for youth lessons are divided into Red, Orange, Green and Yellow. You can read exactly what that means here. Each color has a recommended age. The tennis teacher advises when a child moves to the next color. For more information about youth matters, please contact our youth committee at info@gaasperpark.amsterdam.
What is Red, Orange, Green?
Playing tennis is great fun, but also difficult. The tennis court is very large and the balls are quite heavy. When playing football, children with the F's and E's play on a smaller field. They do the same in tennis, but they don't say F or E. In tennis they say Red, Orange and Green.
Red (up to 8 years)
Getting to know the game of tennis
In Tenniskids Red, children up to 8 years old are introduced to the game of tennis. They learn basic movement and coordination skills. They participate in fun activities at the association and play short matches with their team in the Red League. They can also participate in Tennis Kids tournaments, which often only last (part of) a day. In Red the children play with a soft red ball on a mini track.
Orange (up to 10 years)
Further development
Tenniskids Oranje is working on further development. The children are aged 8 to 10 years old and learn new strokes and techniques that will help them to eventually play on a large course. Children who play in Oranje can play matches by participating in the Oranje competition with their team. The matches in Orange last just a little longer than in Red. In Orange, children play with an orange ball that is suitable for playing on a three-quarter court.
Green (up to 12 years)
Preparing for the entire job
In the final phase, Tenniskids Green, the children prepare for 'full court' tennis. Techniques and tactics are further developed, as are athletic skills. Children who play tennis in Groen are aged 10 to 12 years old. In Groen the matches are getting longer and competitive tennis plays an important role. The competition that belongs to this phase is called the Green competition. Children playing tennis in Green with a slow green ball on an entire court.
