Learn tennis for life
What is Hot Shots Tennis?
Hot Shots Tennis is a fun way for children ages of 3-10+ years old to play and learn tennis. Each Stage provides the right equipment and court size for kids to play tennis at their ability and interest. Games and activities are designed with our Play to Learn philosophy which recognises the importance of play, appropriate challenge and learning new skills. The benefits of the program go beyond learning tennis to also promote life skills such as building positive friendships, working with others, problem-solving, persistence, and confidence. In this way, Hot Shots Tennis promotes ‘good players’ and ‘good people’ in a fun, inclusive and safe environment.

If your lesson is cancelled by Tennis World for any reason, you will be provided with up to two makeup sessions per term. These makeup passes will allow you to book into makeup sessions during the school holidays. If there are more than two classes cancelled per term, then you will receive credit on your account which will be automatically applied to the next direct debit. Tennis World does not offer makeup passes/credits for missed classes unless in extreme circumstances (usually where you can apply for a medical certificate). Please note all students in a performance lesson will only receive credit, no makeup passes.
