What is Tennis Hot Shots?

Tennis Hot Shots is tennis for kids! It’s a program designed to help every child, no matter their age or ability, jump in and start playing tennis. Tennis Hot Shots is played on smaller courts with modified equipment, including lighter racquets, lower nets and low compression balls that don’t bounce too high. With four fun stages (Launchpad, Red Court, Orange Court and Social Teens), qualified Tennis Australia coaches will help guide your kid/teen every step of the way.

Get your child involved in Tennis Hot Shots!

Tennis Hot Shots is not only lots of fun, it’s also a great way to encourage your kids to maintain an active lifestyle. Apart from developing skills like agility, flexibility and speed, the program will also help your kids learn important social skills, helping them to make lots of friends along the way.
