2025-26 Coaching

Our fabulous junior coaching program is back for season 2025-26!

Hot Shots Tennis is a fun way for children between the ages of 3-13 years to play and learn tennis. Each Stage provides the right equipment and court size to play tennis at the participants ability and interest.

Our program will be run by Tennis Australia approved trainee coaches under the guidance of Megan Henry— Rural Coach Development.

Coaches: René Oelofse and Sonia Addis 

Thank you to Mel Adams, Courtney Wilson and Michelle Preston for volunteering as Community Coaches. Parents are welcome and encouraged to support their children during their coaching sessions.  

See below information regarding the HotShots stages. Please use your child's age (or stage from last year) as a guide to which HotShots colour to enrol in— there may be movement between groups after the first lesson. Please get in touch if you are unsure or have any questions.

HotShots will take place on Saturday afternoons from 1pm to 4pm. Session times will be confirmed once we know how many groups of each stage we have. It will most likely look something like this—

1pm Blue and Red stages

1:45pm Red/Orange 

2:30pm Orange

3:15pm Orange/Green Dot

We are looking forward to welcoming our coaching families—new and old—to the club, this October.

Online registration is now open . Please contact Sonia Addis 0428295144 for more information.
