How to Print These Tennis Colouring Pages

Printing is quick and easy. Open the tennis colouring page you want, print it on A4 paper or US Letter paper, and choose the “fit to page” setting so the whole design sits nicely inside the margins. Regular printer paper works well for crayons and coloured pencils. If you plan to use markers, try thicker paper or card stock so the colours do not bleed through.

These pages also work well in the classroom. Print a few copies of the tennis court colouring page for a sports lesson, or hand out the simple tennis ball page to younger children while older pupils tackle the detailed match scene.

The 14 Tennis Colouring Pages

1. Tennis Player Serving

A tennis player tosses the ball high into the air and stretches up to serve, racket raised and ready to strike. Colouring tip: give the player a bright kit, make the tennis ball a bold yellow-green, and add a sunny blue sky behind the court.

2. Tennis Racket and Ball

A big tennis racket lies beside a round tennis ball, with the strings, frame and curved seams drawn in clear, easy lines. Colouring tip: try a red or blue racket frame with white strings, and leave the ball bright yellow with a white curved seam.

3. Tennis Court From Above

This bird’s-eye view shows a whole tennis court from above: the net across the middle, the service boxes, the baselines and the doubles sidelines. It is a great page for children who want to understand how a court is laid out. Colouring tip: colour the court green or blue, make the lines crisp white, and shade the net dark grey or black.

4. Player Hitting a Forehand

A player swings through a powerful forehand, racket out in front and eyes fixed on the ball. Colouring tip: use two colours for the player’s kit so the action stands out, and draw a little motion swoosh around the racket in your favourite colour.

5. Kids Playing Tennis

Two happy kids rally back and forth over the net, laughing as they chase the ball around the court. Colouring tip: give each child a different coloured kit so it is easy to tell them apart, and colour the ball bright so it pops against the court.

6. Tennis Ball Bouncing

A tennis ball bounces along the court in a row of hops, with small bounce lines showing each jump getting a little lower. Colouring tip: colour each bounce of the ball a slightly different shade, from bright yellow to soft green, to show the ball travelling along.

7. Tennis Net Close-Up

This page zooms right in on the tennis net, with its criss-cross mesh, the white tape along the top and the posts at either side. It is a satisfying pattern page, perfect for children who like neat, repeated shapes. Colouring tip: colour the net dark, keep the top tape bright white, and add a soft green or blue background so the mesh really stands out.

8. Umpire on a High Chair

The umpire sits up high on a tall chair at the side of the net, watching the match and keeping the score. It is a lovely page for children who are curious about the people who help a match run fairly. Colouring tip: colour the chair in a strong colour like navy or green, give the umpire a smart shirt, and add a crowd of tiny faces in the background.

9. Tennis Trophy

A gleaming tennis trophy stands proudly with a tennis ball and a laurel wreath beside it, ready for the winner of the match. It is a great page for a champion-in-the-making. Colouring tip: use gold or silver for the trophy, add a red ribbon, and colour the ball bright yellow-green to finish the winner’s display.

10. Animal Friends Playing Tennis

A bunny, a bear and a cat play doubles on a little court, rackets in paws and big smiles on their faces. This is one of the silliest and sweetest pages in the set, and younger children love it. Colouring tip: give each animal its own fur colour, dress them in matching team kits, and make the court a cheerful green.

11. Strawberries and Cream With a Tennis Racket

A bowl of strawberries and cream sits beside a tennis racket, a classic tennis treat on a summer’s day. Colouring tip: colour the strawberries bright red with green tops, make the cream soft white, and give the racket a summery yellow frame.

12. Detailed Tennis Match Scene

This detailed scene shows a full match in progress: two players, an umpire on the high chair, the net, the court lines and a crowd in the stands. Made for older kids and adults, it is packed with small details to colour slowly and carefully. Colouring tip: start with the big areas like the court and the sky, then work inwards to the players’ kits and the crowd, repeating colours to keep the scene balanced.

13. Cute Tennis Ball With a Face

This adorable tennis ball has a happy smiling face, rosy cheeks and little arms and legs, ready to bounce into your day. Colouring tip: colour the ball bright yellow-green, give the cheeks a rosy pink, and add a sunny background of soft blue and white clouds.

14. Simple Tennis Ball

This simple tennis ball colouring page is the easiest in the collection: one big, simple tennis ball with a thick outline and a single curved seam. Toddlers and preschoolers can scribble, stamp or carefully fill it at their own pace. Colouring tip: chunky crayons are perfect here, and there is no wrong way to colour it — try yellow, green, pink or a rainbow ball.

Fun Facts About Tennis

• In tennis, “love” means zero points. If a player has not scored yet in a game, their score is called “love”, so a score of 15–love means one player has 15 and the other has none.
• Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. It started in 1877, and it is still played on grass courts today.
• Tennis can be played on grass, clay, or hard courts. Grass courts are fast and slippery, clay courts are slower and dusty, and hard courts sit somewhere in between. Each surface changes how the ball bounces and how players move.
• “Deuce” means the score is tied at 40–40. From deuce, a player must win two points in a row to win the game.
• An “ace” is a serve the other player can’t touch. It is one of the most exciting shots in tennis, because the point is won with a single serve.
• Strawberries and cream are a famous Wimbledon treat. Eating them while watching tennis on a summer’s day has become a beloved tradition.
• A rally is the back-and-forth hitting between players, and a serve starts every point.

Tennis Activity Ideas

• Practise bouncing a ball on a racket. See how many bounces you can do in a row without dropping the ball, then try to beat your own record.
• Learn how tennis scoring works. Play a mini match and call out the score after every point: love, 15, 30, 40, deuce, game. It is a brilliant way to learn the words while you play.
• Hold a garden “mini tennis” match with soft balls. Mark out a small court with chalk or rope, use soft balls, and rally gently with a friend or family member.
• Colour a racket in your favourite colours. Print the tennis racket colouring page and design your dream racket.

Colouring Tips for Tennis Pages

Tennis colours are bright and cheerful. Tennis balls are usually a vivid yellow-green, so let that colour pop against green or blue courts. Grass courts look lovely in fresh green, while clay courts suit a warm orange-brown. For players’ kits, mix bold colours like red, blue and purple, and keep skin tones soft and natural. On the detailed match scene, repeat the same colours in the crowd and the court lines to keep the picture balanced. Markers give strong colour on the simple pages, while coloured pencils are best for the detailed scene and gentle shading on the net and trophy.

Tennis Colouring Pages FAQs

Are these tennis colouring pages free?

Yes. Every one of the 14 tennis colouring pages in this collection is completely free to download and print for personal use and classroom use. Print as many copies as you need for your kids, your students, or yourself.

What does “love” mean in tennis?

In tennis, “love” means zero points. If a player has not scored a point yet in a game, their score is love.

What age are tennis colouring sheets for?

They are good for all ages. Toddlers and preschoolers will love the simple tennis ball on page 14 and the cute tennis ball with a face on page 13, school-age kids enjoy the players, the trophy and the animal friends, and older kids and adults can relax with the detailed match scene on page 12.

How does tennis scoring work?

Tennis scoring goes love (zero), 15, 30, 40, then game. A player needs four points to win a game, but must win by two points. If both players reach 40, the score is called deuce, and from there a player must win two points in a row to take the game. Games add up to sets, and sets add up to the match.

How do I print tennis colouring pages on A4?

Open the page you want and print it on A4 paper — or US Letter paper if that is what you have — with the “fit to page” setting turned on. Use regular paper for crayons and pencils, or thicker card stock if you are using markers or turning a page into a card.
