Welcome

Welcome to the VLTC Youth page!

When we talk about “Youth”, we refer to all kids/teenagers up to and including 17 years of age. At VLTC, our youth can now play tennis and padel. Sportsmanship and fun are values that are important to us. On this page you will find further information regarding our memberships for the youth and the KNLTB tenniskids program. We also highlight some info regarding the competitions and training.

Tenniskids Program

KNLTV tenniskids, means that children are categorized by age and allocated a colour level. This is then the level that they will train and play tournaments and competition in. The younger the player, the smaller the playing field and the softer and slightly larger the tennisballs.

This way the children are able to play longer rally’s which improves their tennis game. As they improve and develop their game insight, the more fun the tennis game becomes.

For more information regarding the Tenniskids program, click here.

 Competition

We encourage the VLTC youth to participate in the competitions. The youngest members play in the World Tour, which is category Red and Orange and they play their matches on the Sunday morning.
Green and Yellow categories play in the KNLTB competitions (spring and autumn) and start a little later on the Sunday morning and some also start in the afternoon.

You play matches as part of a team against other clubs in the region. Competitive play is challenging and a quick way to learn and get better. In addition it is also fun. We feel that it is important that the kids feel that they are part of a team so we encourage teams to travel to their matches together or assemble at a meeting point and arrive at the location together.

As Padel is still quite new at our club and especially for our youth, there is currently no padel youth competitions.
