ANZ TENNIS HOT SHOTS: Tennis for kids!

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots is tennis for kids! It's a program designed to help every child, regardless of their age or ability, to start playing tennis. ANZ Tennis Hot Shots is played on smaller courts with modified equipment, including lighter racquets, lower nets and low compression balls that don't bounce too high. With four fun stages (Blue, Red, Orange and Green), qualified Tennis Australia coaches will help guide your kids every step of the way.

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots is not only heaps of fun, it’s also a great way to encourage kids to maintain an active lifestyle. Apart from skills like agility, flexibility and speed, the program will help kids learn important social skills, making lots of friends along the way.

To give it a shot, parents can register their kids for free trial at any participating venue by visiting hotshots.tennis.com.au
