Tennis Lessons for Kids
We Are Tennis are certified by Tennis Australia to teach the ANZ Hot Shots tennis coaching program for children aged from 5 upwards. We have been teaching this program for the past nine years.
We have tennis lessons at the Vermont South Tennis Club, Fountain Gate Tennis Club, Belgrave Heights Tennis Club and Upwey-Tecoma Tennis Club
Learning Through Play
As parent’s ourselves, our philosophy is “learning through play” which promotes fun, and at the same time learning the fundamentals of tennis.
We are passionate about instilling a lifelong love of tennis – a game that can take you through all stages of life.
All our coaches are Police Checked, have a Working with Children Check and are registered under Tennis Australia.
Instilling a Sense of Pride
For children’s tennis lessons, we use smaller courts, lighter racquets and low compression balls that don’t bounce too high – they move slower to make learning tennis fun and set up our students for success, and instilling a sense of pride in their achievements.
Our Point of Difference
As tennis professionals, we want to see our students progress as far as they want to go – which is why we have developed simple, yet consistent core drills and quality coaching programs that allows players to learn and develop that ultimately bring results.
This is the We are Tennis point of difference. Our team is ready if your child wants to take the next step.
If you would you like to talk to us about your child’s specific needs, please call Kylie Wilkeson on 0434 700 446
