Gate Pa Tennis Club is again running its successful tennis programme for young children aged 5 and over.
Kids love the "learn by play" method of teaching and parents appreciate a professionally presented programme that caters for little ones through to budding pros.
Coach Peter Blow and his assistants are qualified Hotshot Tennis coaches in Tauranga.
With over 20 years experience working with beginner players to national champions there is a place for all children within the Gate Pa tennis programme.
Blow explains the Red stage is for beginners (5-7 years).
"The red ball is larger than a yellow ball and doesn't bounce as high (just 25 per cent compression), making it easy for even the youngest players to hit it comfortably," he said.
