Hot Shots
Our Junior Hot Shots Tennis coaching programme caters for children aged 4 to 15 years old. The programme starts on 14th September.
The programme reinforces international best practice - promoting the game using a learning through play philosophy meaning kids learn TENNIS rather than just technique. There are plenty of opportunities for play through sessions based around fun, tactical play, skills and social development.Our coaches ensure that every child is playing with the correct size racquets, balls, and nets. The programme allows players to fit into the correct group based on their ability, while also maintaining the flexibility to move players through the various levels as and when they begin to progress.
Players do not play interclub competitions.
We have weekday hotshots
Please only register for ONE programme per week per child (we do not allow children to attend multiple times a week).
