With the generous support of the Hong Kong Tennis Foundation and Prince, over 10,000 primary school students have benefited from this programme over the years. Its aim is to promote mini tennis to primary schools in Hong Kong and identify potential children from the programme to receive proper tennis training. Typically, the programme will begin with registration at the beginning of the school year in September, followed by a Teachers’ Training/Refresher Course in October. While school visits will take place during the months of October and May, a Mini Tennis Clinic will be conducted in January, followed by District Inter-School Competitions in April, and Annual Championships in May. Mini tennis is a great way for beginners to learn the game because the smaller racquets, softer balls, and smaller courts will appear less intimidating and the speed of the game is slowed down, so they are able to rally with more confidence. Talented players with outstanding mini tennis results can be selected to join HKTA’s Junior Development Programme.
