The focus of these sessions is to teach children the core skills to play tennis.
Learning through fun and engaging activities player will develop throwing, catching, movement, ball judgement as well as learning how to hit the ball and how to play tennis.
Players will not be hitting balls solidly for the whole time, our lessons focus on the players enjoyment and development and we use a variety of activities to give every player a positive learning experience.

SHORT COURSE:

For players aged 4 - 7 years old.
If you are unsure if your child will want to stay for the full morning session we offer parents the chance to book and attend a short course 9am - 11am.
We find that the vast majority of parents and players after the first day want to continue for the full morning sessions so upgrading to the full morning session can be arranged and the additional fee prorated.
