Hot Shots

Specifically designed for children to learn through play

Hot Shots classes held at Castle Hill every day of the week

Hot Shots is specifically designed for children and is based on a “learning through play” philosophy. The program uses modified courts, smaller racquets and softer balls which make it possible to develop children’s skill faster. Players are actively engaged right from the first lesson, learning with balls that bounce lower, slower and are easier to hit.

This all means that learning to play the game of tennis is the central feature of each session and is more fun as children experience success. There are three stages of development that the children can progress through as they grow and advance in ability.
