Tennis Ireland Skills Awards

The Tennis Ireland Skills Awards were designed by Roger Geraghty and are based on the Coordination Programme, the Self Rally Programme and the Red Court Progressions from the first module of the Tennis Ireland Level 1 Coaches Education Course.

There are five awards and six separate skills in each award.

A Certificate is presented to children as they achieve each award.  When the child achieves the 5th award, they are ready to play Red Court low-key matches on a court 11 x 5.5 meters using a modified scoring system in a multi-match team event.
