Coaching: Tennis Otago has employed their very own coaches to facilitate this new program.
What to expect: Tennis Otago’s friendly and motivated coaches will guide the players through the
fundamentals of tennis, while keeping it fun and active.
Session 1 (year 2,3,4): Students will move, swing, cooperate, and develop basic tennis skills.
Developing a positive and fun environment is key to helping young children enjoy the game and prepare
them for long term success in the sport.
Session 2 & 3 (years 5,6,7,8): Students will be shown the core fundamentals of all strokes and
positioning to be able to sustain a rally and begin to enjoy the game. Engaging drills and games are
used to make the learning process fun and install a supportive team environment.
Everyone is welcome! Whether you are giving tennis a go for the first time or you have played many
times before. WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HERE!
