Tennis Lessons for Kids
Ages 2.5 – 18 years
Inspire Tennis conducts high quality junior tennis coaching courses and tennis lessons for kids that are fun, innovative and provide a learning pathway for every child.
Our tennis lessons cater to kids aged 2.5 years and above, with all tennis programs structured around both player enjoyment and improvement. Our objective is to ensure children are taught the fundamentals of tennis in an enjoyable, rewarding and competitive environment.
We partner with Tennis NSW and Tennis Australia to ensure we deliver the best quality tennis training. Tennis Australia’s Hot Shots Program is the fun way for kids to learn how to play tennis. Smaller courts, nets, racquets and low-compression balls make learning easy and give younger players the chance to serve, rally and score right from the first time they play.
Children progress through the development stages, with ball compression and court size increasing in line with their development. This gradual progression improves skills and prepares them to play on a full-size court with a yellow ball.
We also offer performance pathway tennis training for the juniors who want to reach the highest levels in the game.
Our bus shuttle service ensures our junior tennis coaching programs and tennis lessons for kids of all ages are easily accessible!
