MLC Tennis Hot Shots

MLC Tennis Hot Shots is the fun way for kids to learn how to play tennis. Smaller courts, nets, racquets and low-compression balls make learning easy and gives younger players the chance to serve, rally and score right from the first time they play.

Children progress through the three developmental stages:

• Red
• Orange
• Green

At each stage, the ball compression and court size increases in line with players’ development. This gradual progression improves players’ skills and prepares them to play on a full-size court with a yellow ball. To find out more information, visit the MLC Tennis Hot Shots website.

In the MLC Tennis Hot Shots program, children will:

• play with modified equipment that is appropriate to their age, size and ability
• meet new friends, have fun and stay healthy
• develop new skills and coordination
• have the opportunity to play in challenge events where all players receive a participation gift
• be presented with a t-shirt when they enrol for one term of MLC Tennis Hot Shots
• graduate to playing on a full-size court through the ‘learning to play’ pathway

From the first moment players participate in the MLC Tennis Hot Shots program, they will ‘play the game’ of tennis. This means players are able to serve, rally and score in an exciting ITF endorsed competition format.
