What is Tennis Hot Shots?

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots is based on a “learning-through-play” philosophy, which means that playing the game of tennis is the central feature of each session. Smaller courts, racquets and softer tennis balls makes it possible to develop children’s skills faster, while the red, orange and green stages offer a clear pathway. Age is just a guide, our coaches will make sure your child is put in the correct program based on their tennis experience and ability.
