If you are unfamiliar with Hotshots and the coloured ball system for young players, below is some information on what the ball colours mean for the enjoyment and development of your child in tennis.
Red ball: 5-8 years
Orange ball: 8-10 years
Green ball: 9-12 years
These modified tennis balls don’t bounce as high as normal yellow tennis balls, and this gives children more time to set up for shots and allows them to hit the ball in the correct hitting zone (which is at hip height). The different coloured balls used represent different levels of compression.
Which balls should my child use?
It is best to consult with your Tennis Australia coach, as they will have a better understanding of what will best suit your child. As a guide, these are the different coloured balls used in the program:
Red: These are oversized balls with 25 per cent compression. These are the lowest bouncing balls and travel through the air slower, making them ideal for beginners and kids under eight.
Orange: These are normal sized tennis balls, however have 50 per cent compression. As your child’s skills develop and they move to the program’s orange stage, they will begin to use these balls.
Green: In the final stage of ANZ Tennis Hot Shots, typically for older participants aged between nine and 12, normal-sized green balls with 75 per cent compression are used.
What about the normal yellow balls?
The regular yellow balls are 100 percent compression so bounce higher, which is not ideal for juniors under 13. It is best for your child not to use these until they have progressed through the ANZ Tennis Hot Shot program and their skills have developed enough to move to using full-sized courts and equipment.
