One of Tennis World’s most innovative tennis programs is called MLC Tennis Hot Shots. This exciting new program is specially designed for children in the age group of 4-12 years old.

Different age groups and skill level requires a different approach towards the development of a child. For this reason the program adopts three progressive stages (red, orange and green) and matches the individual skill level of each player.
