Junior Coaching

Junior Coaching at PLTC

We provide a variety of tennis opportunities for junior players of all standards, from those starting out to elite tournament level players. We currently have a number of highly ranked junior players. Junior members can progress to play in adult competitions when they reach the appropriate standard. There are a large number of junior members playing throughout the grades.

Junior coaching is held on Saturday mornings from 9:00 - 10:30am (5 - 9 years old), and from 10.30am -12:00pm (10 - 18 years old).  If it is raining, indoor classes are held in the clubrooms. Groups are structured according to player ability, from beginner through to advanced.


​​​​​​​Early Morning Coaching

PLTC also holds 8-week coaching courses during term, before school hours. These courses are held on Tuesdays from 7:00am to 8:00am for juniors aged 10 to 18, and on Thursdays from 7:45am to 8:45am for juniors aged 5 to 9.

The Tuesday sessions are designed for junior players who already have some experience at tennis. This is an ideal way to fast track improvement for inter-school and interclub competitions.

 Cost: $250 for 8 weeks
