Results<\/p>\n
MLC Tennis Hot Shots (MLCTHS) is just for kids. Smaller courts, lighter racquets and low-compression balls that don\u2019t bounce too high make learning tennis fun and easy for primary school-aged children. This means that kids are able to start rallying and having fun right from their first lesson!<\/p>\n
There are three stages \u2013 Red, Orange and Green \u2013 that help to develop children\u2019s skills and confidence. Children are taught by qualified Tennis Australia coaches and progress at their pace, moving on to the next stage when they are ready.<\/p>\n
