Brisbane’s Premier Tennis Coaching Programs For Kids

At Tennis For Kids, we are dedicated to fostering a love for tennis at the grassroots level by helping children establish healthy and lasting connections with sports. Proudly supported by our ambassador, former World No. 1 Ash Barty, our mission is to make tennis available to every child through high-quality, values-based tennis programs conducted right at their primary schools.

 

Led by Tennis Australia-registered coaches, our sessions prioritise three core elements: having fun, developing new skills, and learning valuable life lessons. Through participating in our programs, children not only refine their tennis skills but also cultivate self-confidence, resilience, and an appreciation for teamwork.

 

Join us in nurturing the next generation of tennis-loving adults who embody positive values both on and off the court. With Tennis For Kids, your child will not just learn the game; they’ll discover a lifelong passion for sport!

Ash Barty quote praising Tennis For Kids programs (official ambassador)

Brisbane’s Tennis for Kids delivers coaching programs using the Hot Shots Framework to help kids have fun and success sooner.  Hot Shots is a Tennis Australia program that utilises tailored equipment, including smaller courts, racquets and low-compression tennis balls. This program ensures children are introduced to tennis in an environment that is suited to their age and skill level, helping children succeed and have fun sooner.

There are lots of sports available for children to play so why choose tennis?

The primary school years are a critical period for children to develop coordination skills and in our opinion no other sport can deliver the same level of total skill development as tennis.Tennis lessons teach hand-eye coordination, total motor control, ball tracking and striking skills, all the while building balance, foot speed, strength, fitness, agility and flexibility.

Tennis is a true family sport. Everyone can get on the same court and share in the fun – Mum, Dad, brothers, sisters, parents and even grandparents!.Tennis is one of the few sports that can be played for a lifetime – From the age of 3 to 103!
Tennis teaches important life skills. In children, tennis hones important strategic and problem solving skills while also fostering a strong work ethic, discipline, and sense of sportsmanship. Doubles play and tennis team events (such as interschool tennis) teach children important social skills and teamwork.
