Welcome to SPARTA Red Ball! Our fun and engaging Red Ball sessions use modified equipment and a variety of games and activities to build tennis skills.

Some changes to Red Ball from last term:

- Player to Coach ratio of 4:1

- Session length extended to 45 minutes

- 9 session term (previously 8 sessions)

- Reduced ratios mean a max of 16 places in this session

Children will:

- Learn the basics of tennis – swings, hits and fun!

- Improve balance, movement, and coordination skills

- Learn simple tennis technique and game tactics

- Have fun and feel safe with plenty of coach support

- Make friends and enjoy playing alongside other kids.

Red tennis balls have 25% compression and are softer, slower, and bounce lower than regular balls, making them perfect for young beginners. They allow children to develop correct swing paths, footwork, and gross motor skills with confidence. Most importantly, they make tennis fun and achievable right from the start!

$152 per term for St Heliers Tennis Club members

$176 per term for non-members

Please book before the session fills and make payment before the first day of coaching. Thank you.

St Heliers Tennis Club | 3 Goldie Street, St Heliers, Auckland

Participation and Risk: I give permission for my child to participate in all activities. I understand that while staff will take all reasonable care, the programme is not liable for accidental injuries that may occur during active play, to the extent permitted by law.
Local Walks and Outings: I give permission for staff to take my child on local walks and outings.
Behaviour Policy: I understand that children who are disruptive, unsafe, or non-compliant with programme rules may be excluded at the discretion of the management. The programme will follow a fair and consistent behaviour guidance policy.

Cancellation

General: No refunds or credit notes are given for missed classes due to personal reasons or for single week injuries.
Junior Classes: No cancellations are possible within one week of the first session date.
Tennis Fit and Beginner Refresher: Cancellation by the player for any session is possible at any time up to 24 hours prior to the session start. Cancellation after this time will incur a full session charge unless Sparta, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise.
Skills & Drills, Tennis Fit and Refresher: Cancellation by the player is possible before 8am on the day of the session. Cancellation after this will incur a full session charge unless Sparta, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise.
Holiday Programmes: To be eligible for credit note from a holiday programme cancellation, notice must be given at least 48 hours in advance. If the cancellation relates to a 5-day booking, Sparta must be advised on time, and any credit note will be calculated by adding the Standard Pricing for a single day class for all days attended and deducting this from the discounted multi-day package price.
Private Lessons: All cancellations for private lessons must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a full lesson charge being payable. Where a player becomes unwell within that 24-hour period please contact the coach immediately as they may be able to waive the 24-hour notice period.

Injury

Junior Programmes: If a Junior is unable to complete their programme owing to an injury, subject to receipt of a medical certificate, Sparta will provide a credit note for the pro-rata value of the unused sessions. This credit note is valid for use at the next available programme where the junior is fit to attend.
Adult Sessions: There are no credit notes for adult injuries given all classes can be booked and cancelled individually on 24 hours’ notice.

Bad Weather

If a tennis class is cancelled due to bad weather, players will be notified as soon as practically possible through WhatsApp groups or direct message
Cancelled junior sessions will be rescheduled during a designated wet weather week at the end of the term / holidays. If rescheduling is not possible, players will be credited for the missed session in the next term.
If the weather forces a session to stop part way through, no refund or credit note will be offered. In these instances, where appropriate, the coach will take players for covered off court fitness/classroom sessions in the club house.

Privacy

I acknowledge that Sparta will take reasonable steps to protect my personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993. I have the right to access and correct any personal information held by the programme.
