TENNIS HOT SHOTS
For younger children we offer the Tennis Hot Shots coaching programme. Tennis Hot Shots is the national starter tennis programme for New Zealand children. The programme uses smaller courts, shorter racquets and softer balls than normal. Sessions are made up of tactical, technical, fun and social elements which create developmental readiness in children. We adhere to lesson plans that have been designed by player and coach development experts worldwide.
RED RACKETS
AGE 5Â - 8
Children use a ball with 25% compression, making it easy for them to hit. The courts and nets used in the Red stage are much smaller than normal (3m or 6m wide). Red ball players are taught the basic fundamentals, which consist of swing paths, footwork and basic motor skills. We achieve these objectives while also having a bunch of fun!

ORANGE RACKETS

In the Orange stage the ball bounces higher (50% compression) and children play over the regular sized net on a three quarter length court. This class is designed for children who are aged 8 - 10 , unless the player has progressed out of Red stage. Players in Orange Rackets are taught more advanced techniques, tactics and movements. We help grow the players confidence to serve, rally, score.

OTHER JUNIOR COACHING

SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLINICS
Need to keep the kids entertained in the school holidays? Our school holiday camps are fully supervised and are a great way to get the kids out of the house to participate in some physical activity. Our programmes are focused on skill improvement with a whole lot of fun thrown in!
PRIVATE COACHING
Private tennis lessons are for anyone who wants to improve their tennis skill set faster. We will personalise the lesson to your particular objectives whether it be to improve specific technical aspects of your game or to generally improve your overall ability.
GROUP PRIVATE
Group privates are for more than one person (sometimes a team) wanting a private lesson with a coach. Groups are usually smaller in size (up to 4 people) to ensure a high level of coaching quality is maintained. We will personalise the session based on the groups goals and objectives.
