Stage 1 tennis balls

Stage 1 tennis balls: the ideal ball for young players

Stage 1 tennis balls are specially designed for children aged 9 to 12 who are training in the green stage of the Tennis Kids program. These balls are recognizable by their green color and are created as the perfect stepping stone toward regular tennis balls. They bounce 25% lower than standard tennis balls, giving young players more time to position themselves properly. This supports the development of technique, coordination, and confidence on the court. Stage 1 balls are perfectly suited for full-court play, helping children gradually adapt to the pace and distances of adult tennis in a fun and safe way.

The features of Stage 1 tennis balls

A Stage 1 tennis ball is lighter, slower, and softer than a standard tennis ball. With reduced bounce and lower weight, it's easier to hit the ball with control and build a rally. This makes it ideal for technique-focused training, both during lessons and free play. All Stage 1 tennis balls on our page are ITF-approved and meet international standards for youth competitions. They can be used on any surface, from clay to hard court, making them ideal for tennis clubs, coaches, and parents looking for versatility.
