Kids Tennis (Game Day & Hot Shots)
Welcome to Bounce Tennis & Fitness Academy. Our goal for kids is to see them engaged, having fun and developing values and skills that will help them as they grow.
Our philosophy is to see kids actually playing tennis, rather than just receive coaching. We can't think of any other sport where kids only ever train and don't play. Our "Game Day" program, in alignment with contemporary Hot Shots (Tennis Australia National Program) allows kids the opportunity to play once a week and be coached once a week. This has several benefits.
- The kids are playing. They are learning the sport and there's a relevance to coaching.
- They are developing "Values" such as persistence, Respect, Resilience and empathy.
- The sheer added volume of time on court turbo charges their development.
- It's FUN!! Plus with our numerous off court activities, when they aren't playing they'll be busy playing the switch, or basketball, or soccer or footy or even hitting on the mini court.
- It's what every other sport does, creating pathways for development, creating a feeling of community and broadening skills, tactical and technical development.
What sets us apart from other sports?
- Our team are Tennis Australia Qualified Professional Coaches, with nearly 2 decades of coaching experience.
- We have a dedicated tennis facility, with the ability to modify courts, equipment, rules and constraints. There's no travel, other than to the Tennis Centre.
- We support kids that may find it difficult or challenging, with a player centred approach.
- This is our job. All we are concerned about is seeing kids playing tennis, having fun and enjoying the journey of growth, both on and off the court.
