Little steps. Big possibilities.
A lifelong love of the game starts here.
Junior tennis at Wendover welcomes children at different ages and stages, with coaching groups chosen to suit their experience and ability.
Junior Coaching
Our goal is to get as many children as possible into suitable groups and our focus is on placing children in the right sessions based on age and playing level to ensure they have the best experience possible. Please note all children need to be a member of the Club; a modest fee will apply.
The junior coaching programme at Wendover is administered by The Park Langley Club.

Finding the right level
Next to the ball colour you will see a number which represents the level of the class. The information below should help you identify your child’s level:
- Level 4 – A beginner or a player with very little experience. Cannot serve, rally or score and needs help understanding the rules of the game.
- Level 3 – A player who can compete at the most basic level in their squad with assistance and understands basic rules. Can serve (modified in some cases) and hold a basic rally, with the emphasis on getting the ball over and in.
- Level 2 – An experienced player who has competed at Grade 5–7 competitions. They can serve, rally and score and have a basic understanding of the rules of tennis. They have control over height, direction and speed with a basic technique.
- Level 1 or Performance – Offered by The Park Langley Club for children looking to take their tennis seriously and play multiple times a week.
