Our junior program aligns with Tennis Australia's Hot Shots program.
Red Ball 1 and 2 & 3
Students in this stage use 25% compression red balls that bounce lower and slower, making them much easier to hit. Combined with smaller sized courts (3 or 6 metre wide courts), all this helps them develop hand/eye coordination while getting a feel for moving around a tennis court. The recommended racquet size for this stage is 21-23 inches.
There is currently 3 levels in the Red Ball Stage:
Class duration: 45 minutes

10 week term fee: $250.00

Orange Ball 1
In our Orange Stage, students play on regular sized courts with reduced length and use 50% compression orange balls, which travel a little faster than the Blue or Red balls. This helps build speed on the court and pushes the students a little harder. The recommended racquet size for this stage is 23-25 inches.There is currently 2 levels in the Orange Stage:
