First steps require help. The pressureless HEAD Stage 3 RED ball is an ideal choice for children between 5 and 8 years who are about to make their first steps on the court. It is significantly softer, bigger, and 75% slower than a standard tennis ball, which increases the reaction time and makes hitting the ball a lot easier and more fun. In addition, its red and yellow two-tone felt makes the ball easier to see for kids. Designed in collaboration with coaches and young players, the HEAD STAGE 3 RED is perfect for the ITF´s small red court (11m x 5-6m). It is part of the Stage Program, a unique initiative created to help young players develop their skills, in partnership with the International Tennis Federation’s “Tennis Play and Stay!” campaign.

The pressureless HEAD Stage 1 GREEN ball is an ideal choice for children between 9 and 10 years and beginner adults who are transitioning to a full-size court. It is slightly softer, and 25% slower than a standard tennis ball, making it easier for kids to maintain control over their game and strokes. Designed in collaboration with coaches and young players, the HEAD Stage 1 GREEN is perfect for beginners learning to play on a full-size court. It is part of the Stage Program, a unique initiative created to help young players develop their skills, in partnership with the International Tennis Federation’s “Tennis Play and Stay!” campaign.
