HEAD STAGE 3 RED Tennis Ball. First Steps Made Fun.

The HEAD STAGE 3 RED is the perfect starting point for children aged 5 to 8 as they take their first steps on the tennis court. This pressureless ball is 75% slower, larger, and significantly softer than a standard tennis ball—giving young players more time to react, hit, and enjoy the game.

Its red and yellow two-tone felt enhances visibility, helping kids track the ball more easily and build confidence with every swing. Designed in collaboration with coaches and kids, the Stage 3 RED is optimized for use on the ITF’s red court (11m x 5–6m) as part of the global “Tennis Play and Stay!” initiative.

Whether it’s their first rally or their first match, the HEAD STAGE 3 RED helps young players fall in love with the game—right from the start.
