Coaching: Tennis Otago has employed their very own coaches to facilitate this new program.

What to expect: Tennis Otago’s friendly and motivated coaches will guide the players through the

fundamentals of tennis, while keeping it fun and active.

Session 1 (year 2,3,4): Students will move, swing, cooperate, and develop basic tennis skills.

Developing a positive and fun environment is key to helping young children enjoy the game and prepare

them for long term success in the sport.

Session 2 & 3 (years 5,6,7,8): Students will be shown the core fundamentals of all strokes and

positioning to be able to sustain a rally and begin to enjoy the game. Engaging drills and games are

used to make the learning process fun and instill a supportive team environment.

Everyone is welcome! Whether you are giving tennis a go for the first time or you have played many

times before. WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HERE!

The cost per player is $60.
