Mini Orange
Mini Orange tennis is for players aged 8 and 9. It is played on slightly larger courts than Mini Red, with bigger rackets that are not as soft as red balls. It is the next stage to go through before you start playing on a full sized court and it will help players develop all the different shots, providing fun competition.
