Tennis Hot Shots is the national starter tennis programme for children. Smaller courts, shorter racquets and softer balls mean that kids can play a proper game of tennis from the moment they step on court. Tennis Hot Shot sessions are made up of tactical, technical, fun and social elements which create developmental readiness in children. And of course it gets the kids started with a fun sport at a young age.
The children are taught different skills at different ages. Here is the breakdown of age groups:
Blue Stage (3-4 years old)
Build fundamental perceptual motor skills through movement, catching, throwing, and striking. Sessions are held weekly on Saturdays mornings and are 30 minutes long.
Red Stage (5-8 years old)
Build fundamental perceptual motor skills, key grips, ground strokes, serve, volley and court awareness, cooperative skills and game understanding. Sessions are held weekly on Saturdays mornings and are 45 minutes long.
Orange Stage (8-10 years old)
Progress stroke technique, directional hitting, serving rhythm, basic tactical awareness and implementation, court etiquette, scoring and doubles understanding, encourage match play and game planning. Sessions are held weekly on Saturdays mornings and are 60 minutes long.
Green Stage (10-12 years old)
Advance tactical knowledge, spin on ground strokes and serve, understand fair play, learn to manage emotions, execute all possible shots on a tennis court. Sessions are held weekly on Saturdays mornings and are 60 minutes long.
