Loxton Tennis Club - 2024/2025 Hot Shots Program 

Purpose: Hot Shots is an introduction to tennis with a focus on hand-eye coordination that prepares players tactically, technically, and psycho-socially for orange level.  A red ball and modified racquets are used.

Coaches: Hot Shots will be organized and run by Nathan Gibbs, Danica Gibbs and Todd Griffin in 2024/2025. Nathan and Todd have previous experience in coaching Hot Shots and are currently representing our club at the senior level.

Parents/Caregivers: We strongly encourage parents/caregivers to be present and no tennis experience or knowledge required, just a positive, encouraging, and interactive approach.

Attendance: Please make an apology via email or text to the contacts below if the player cannot attend training. Please bring hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. If you have your own racquet that is great, we do have many spare ones that can be borrowed.

There will be six sessions held in 2024, Thursday December 5 will be the last prior to the break. After the New Year, sessions will recommence on Thursday February 6, 2025.
