\"\"<\/p>\n

With the Summer of Tennis<\/strong> wrapping up in Melbourne and a new school year on the horizon, the time is perfect for kids around the country inspired by watching the world\u2019s best to begin their journey with the great sport of tennis.<\/p>\n

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots<\/strong> is a program designed specifically to be accessible to kids and little ones, catering from age four and upwards, with modified equipment and smaller courts making it easier to play and progress. With lighter racquets, lower nets, and colourful tennis balls that don\u2019t bounce too high, it\u2019s easier for kids to hit and chase down balls.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives kids the ability to learn and to play and train in an environment that is suitable for their age and skillset,\u201d said coach Frank Calabria<\/strong> of Rising Star Tennis Academy<\/strong>, who\u2019s club is one of 16 qualified ANZ Tennis Hot Shot providers in the ACT <\/strong>about to get term-one ANZ Tennis Hot Shots programs underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cANZ Tennis Hot Shots, particularly our Hot Shots Play & Train Team Tennis Programs<\/strong>, gives kids and parents a great introduction to the game of tennis in a fun team-based environment, that\u2019s easily accessible, social, fun and caters for all abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program is a great way for kids to improve coordination, speed, strength and agility in the early years when fine motor skills are being developed. Being a non-contact sport played outside, it\u2019s easy to socially distance. The program teaches kids how to problem solve as individuals and as a team, how to cope with wins and losses fairly, and is a fun way for kids to make new friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents are so happy that tennis is brought down to their child\u2019s level and ability from a social as well as a physical environment, helping to guide them on their tennis journey in a fun, social and caring environment,\u201d shares Calabria. \u201cAs we say at Team RSTA to all our new clients, \u2018Welcome to the Family.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTeam RSTA offer all levels of ANZ Tennis Hot Shots, from 4-year-old Blue stages all the way through to Green Ball Stages. Our ANZ Tennis Hot Shots Play & Train Team Tennis Red & Orange Ball Programs give kids five years plus a great introduction,\u201d Calabria shares.<\/p>\n

Tennis a sport to love for life and that the whole family can play. With term-one programs soon to commence, now is the perfect time to book in and get started.<\/p>\n
