Hot Shots
Hot Shots is a modified beginner tennis program ideally suited to 5–8-year-olds. The 2025/2026 season was well attended, and the kids just loved it. All equipment incl specific Hot Shots rackets are supplied. We are registered with ANZ Hot Shots, which will commence in November and run for 10 weeks with a break over xmas.
It generally runs for 5 weeks and then breaks over the summer holidays and recommences for the final 5 weeks in February. If you have any budding players excited to get out on the court and follow in Mum or Dad's footsteps or begin the tradition in your family, register them for Hot Shots.
Group numbers are ideally 6-10 with a charge of $75 per child. If your child is interested to try tennis without the competition, please email juniors@lobethaltennisclub.org
Hot shots can be subsidized with the Sports Voucher program.
