About Super 10s
The first step in Tennis Australia’s performance pathway introduces promising 10‑and‑under players to team‑based competition, guided coaching and the chance to connect with peers across the country.
This national program is designed to nurture skills, character and teamwork in a fun, supportive environment.
In Victoria, the program begins with five to six comprehensive Development Camps each year – giving young athletes regular opportunities to learn, compete and progress.
