TAUPŌ TENNIS CLUB
RED BALL
The Red stage is for beginners. The red ball is larger than a yellow ball and doesn’t bounce as high (just 25 per cent compression), making it a breeze for even the youngest players to hit it comfortably. The courts and nets used in the Red stage are much smaller and easier for kids to move around.
Recommended racquet size:21–23 inches
$16.50 per session. $165 for 10 week program.
2 Days per week $280
ORANGE BALL
