Tennis Ireland Skills Awards

The Tennis Ireland Skills Awards were designed by Roger Geraghty in 2004 and are based on the Coordination Programme, the Self Rally Programme and the Mini Tennis Progressions from the first module of the Tennis Ireland Level 1 Coaches Education Course.

The Awards were amended in 2005 and then in again in 2008.

There are five awards and six separate skills in each award.

A Certificate is presented to children as they achieve each award. When child acheives the 5th award, they are ready to play mini-tennis low-key matches on a court 11 x 5.5 meters using a modified scoring system in a multi-match team event.
