NB Any child who joins one of Vanessa's coaching programmes pays a membership fee to the club. A portion of this fee goes towards general court maintenance and club costs while the remainder is passed on to Nelson Bays Tennis Association and Tennis NZ as an affiliation fee.
Children aged 12yrs and over are given access to the Club courts all year while those aged 12yrs and under require an adult member to accompany them. Memberships are renewed every year. Subs are paid directly to the club. Fees vary depending on age and applicable coaching programme.
Tennis Hot Shots
The National Starter programme for children aged 3-12yrs. Using modified equipment - shorter racquets, low compression balls and smaller courts, children can play a proper game of tennis from the moment they step on court. Sessions cater for the developmental readiness of players and include technical and tactical components while run in a fun and social environment. A great way to make friends, keep active & develop a love for a game they can play for life!
Community Play
A play-based programme which gives children the chance to 'have a go' at tennis. These sessions are run by assistant coaches or volunteer parents who oversee children in a fun and safe environment. Players can play using modified low compression balls, smaller courts and racquets, and a simplified scoring system. A great lead in to Tennis Hot Shots coaching programmes.
