Junior programs and pathways for all ages and abilities
In our group coaching programs children learn technical tennis skills, improve their general coordination and make new friends.
When your child first begins learning tennis their tennis lessons are held in a group environment, to allow for fun games and to teach children about teamwork.
At Team Tennis WA we have created our Junior pathway, this pathway allows parents and players to know what stage they are at as well as what the are working towards in their sessions. When starting out, the coaching team will take into account the players age and ability when offering a stage to participate in.
Our classes run on numerous days and times during the week with plenty of options to suit everyone. However, sometimes the most appropriate lesson option for your child is not available at a suitable time, or you may have siblings in different grades but would like to put in the same class. If this is the case we will do our best to try and work out a solution for you!
Group lessons vs Private lessons
for maximum benefit we advise a group tennis lesson and a Priavte tennis lesson once a week. Your child will be able to take what they have learnt in the private lesson had apply it in the group lesson.
ANZ Hot Shots Program
This starter program teaches kids basic tennis fundamentals including technique, co-ordination and rallying skills in a well-structured, fun environment and has been developed to allow children to learn, play the game and progress at their own rate.
It is the easiest way to learn tennis with students coached on a court size specifically to meet their needs and lighter racquets and low compression tennis balls that don’t bounce too high and move slower, making learning tennis easier to play for kids.
It follows a learning through play philosophy that encourages kids to have fun, learn tactical skills in tennis situations, improve their motor skills and build social skills.
There are four progressive stages allowing children’s skills and confidence to develop at their own pace. Each level is coached differently and targeted specifically to the players age, stage of tennis development and skill sets.
When your child first begins, they will be assessed and placed in the appropriate stage and level. As your child’s tennis techniques and abilities improve, they’ll progress through each level and eventually progress to the next colour stage. Each child is encouraged to progress at their own pace, moving on the next stage when they are ready.
