Hot Shots Tennis

Hot Shots Tennis is a fun way for children between the ages of 3-10+ to Play and Learn tennis.  

There are four stages in the program that include, Blue Stage for kids aged 3-5+; Red Stage for kids aged 5-8+; Orange Stage for kids aged 8-10+ and Green Stage for kids aged 10 and over.

Each Stage provides the right equipment and court size to play tennis at their ability and interest. Games and activities are positioned within a Play to Learn philosophy which recognises the importance of play, appropriate challenge and learning new skills.  

The benefits of the program go beyond learning tennis skills to also promote LIFE skills, such as building positive friendships, working with others, problem-solving, persistence, and confidence. In this way, Hot Shots Tennis promotes ‘good players’ and ‘good people’ in a fun, inclusive and safe environment.
