Abstract

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots is Tennis Australia’s official development program specifically designed to introduce primary school children between five and 12 years of age to tennis. At the core of the program is an innovative, practical philosophy called ‘Learning through play’. This means that playing the game of tennis, or modified versions of the game, is the central feature of all sessions. The use of tailored equipment including smaller courts, racquets and low-compression tennis balls ensures children are introduced to tennis in an environment that is suited to their age and skill level. This approach makes learning tennis fun and easier and the result is more children playing a better standard of tennis
