The searchable register of Qualified Coaches and Coaches Assistants in NZ
The National Register indicates coaches who meet international qualifications, safeguarding, legal and ethical, and professional standards. The Coach Register displays the coach’s current qualification, whether they are National Programmes registered, their Police Vetting Status, and if they have signed the Coaches Code of Ethics. This register provides anyone who needs it, the key information they may need in deciding who to engage as a coach.
Coaches may update their information on the register here

Coaching Businesses operating in the Hutt Valley
The majority of coaching programs run in the Hutt Valley align with Tennis NZ national participation programs
Tennis Hot Shots is just for kids. Smaller courts, shorter racquets, and softer balls mean that kids can play a proper game of tennis from the moment they step on the court.
Cardio Tennis combines fitness devices, music, and a variety of equipment to deliver the ultimate, full body, calorie burning aerobic workout.
Tennis Xpress is a fun, innovative way of teaching tennis to get players started. It has been developed to help adults into the game by removing many of the barriers associated with learning the sport.
The aim is to get you playing the game quickly (within six weeks) by using lower pressure balls, flexible court sizes, simple scoring and simple technical teaching, all which promote a successful learning environment where players gain confidence, skills, and have fun as they serve, rally and score!
