TENNIS_ball_vectorWednesday programmes

Wed 4:30 - 5:30pm Matchplay/ play sessions - red/orange/yellow ball

This term we are starting a "play session" on a Wednesday. The aim for this is to give the kids a chance to come and learn how to play points, keep score, and encourage the "real tennis" feel, and the crossover from coaching to playing with others. Focus is on learning environment but getting confidence and understanding the fun of competition, with some prizes etc. We will have all our progressions in terms of balls out, as well as nets for the smaller ones. This session is for 7+ or those that can at least hit one shot over...

$10 per session - Must book in here, 

Wed 5:00 - 6:00pm INTERCLUB SQUADS (term 1 and 4)

TENNIS_ball_vectorJUNIOR SCHOOL HOL CLINICSTENNIS_ball_vector

We run school holiday clinics during most holidays. They are a lot of fun and a mixture of technique, games and matches. Fun tournament on the last day with prizes.

We keep all the age groups and abilities in the same time slot, as we find the atmosphere adds to the holiday clinics. Having said that, we will do focused segments within the week working on technique, as well as point play and scoring coaching for those interclub level players. 

Please enquire about toddler sessions. Usually offered a couple of mornings for 1 hr
