TNZ APPROVED HOT SHOTS

We offer the full Tennis New Zealand Hot Shots programme that caters for all ages and abilities for pre interclub players. Hot Shots are all about teaching kids about tennis and having lots of fun. 

Our Hot Shots Programme will:

  • Teach you the basic technique of how to hit forehands, backhands, volleys and serves.

  • Provide the fundamentals of hand-eye coordination for longer rallies. 

  • Teach you how to play tennis and prepare you for interclub level play.

2024 Tennis Hot Shots enrolment is now open for Term 2 & 3

Term 2: 2nd May - 20th June

Term 3: 25th July - 12th September

The red ball is larger than a yellow ball and doesn’t bounce as high (just 25% compression), making it a breeze for even the youngest players to hit comfortably. The courts and nets used in the Red stage are much smaller making it easier for kids to move around and enjoy success. Red level players may be beginners, improvers or even advanced players.

This is an 8 week programme that runs every school term.

After mastering the Red stage this stage the players are able to develop a complete technical range. Modified Orange Balls (50% compression) fly slower through the air and bounce in the hitting zone of the player. This fast tracks their stroke development and allows them to have longer rallies and hit more tennis balls. With the increased dimensions from 1/2 court, players tracking improves and court awareness.

This is an 8 week programme that runs every school term.

The ball used in the Green stage has a higher compression than the Red and Orange stages (75% of a yellow tennis ball) and children play on a full-size court. Green players may be older children who are new to tennis or players of a good standard who have progressed through the Blue, Red and Orange stages. This is where the players will develop a full understanding of tennis fundamentals and rules.
