Hotshots Information

Our Hotshots Membership includes a 45 min group coaching session each week across Term 4 2025 and Term 1 2026, for a total of 18 sessions. Groups are divided into three different stages based on age and ability;

  • Red Ball (ages 4-7)
  • Orange Ball (ages 7-10)
  • Green-Dot Ball (ages 9+)

'Hotshots' is an internationally recognized coaching programme (including Tennis New Zealand) catering for children wanting to learn the game and improve their tennis through smaller courts, larger balls and shorter racquets.

As players develop and get older, they transition through the stages from red, orange and then green-dot, before progressing into interclub/competition level tennis. It's essential that players get enough time on-court to develop their skills at a reasonable pace rather than 'rushing' up the stages, as this can lead to bad habits and incorrect technique.

Coaching Sessions (Choose ONE):

  • Wednesday 3:45-4:30pm, Thursday 3:45-4:30pm or Saturday 8:30-9:15am (ages 4-8)
  • Wednesday 4:30-5:15pm, Thursday 4:30-5:15pm or Saturday 9:15-10:00am (ages 9+)

Hotshots Coaching will begin from Week 1 of Term 4 2025 (8-11 October) and end in the last week of Term 1 2026 (25-28 March).
