Tennis For Kids

Hot Shots Tennis is the perfect way for children to start their tennis journey in a fun, supportive and age-appropriate environment. Designed for kids aged 3–12, the program uses modified equipment, smaller court sizes and game-based learning to help children build skills, confidence and a love for the game.

At Oxford Falls Racquet Club, our junior coaching programs are designed to help every child feel comfortable on court, whether they’re trying tennis for the first time or developing their skills as they grow.

FUN, ACTIVE TENNIS FOR KIDS

What is Hot Shots
Tennis?

Tennis for 3-10+ Year Old Kids

Hot Shots Tennis is a nationally recognised junior tennis program designed to introduce kids to the game in a way that feels achievable, active and enjoyable. By matching the equipment, court size and coaching style to each child’s age and stage, kids can learn more naturally while building confidence and having fun.

FREE TRIAL

Try Hot Shots
with a FREE Trial

If your child is new to tennis, a free trial is a great way to get started. It gives them the chance to experience a session, meet the coach and see how the program works before committing.

Whether your child is energetic, a little shy, sporty or completely new to the game, our team will help them feel welcome from the moment they step on court.

HOT SHOTS TENNIS PROGRAM

Stages for every age and ability

Hot Shots Tennis is structured into stages so children can learn with the right equipment, court size and coaching approach for their age and development.

AGE 3-5+

Blue Stage introduces younger children to movement, coordination and early tennis skills through fun, play-based activities. It’s a great first step for little ones learning to run, jump, throw, catch and strike in a large open space.

AGE 5-8+

Red Stage is a fun introduction to rallying and basic tennis skills using softer balls, smaller racquets and scaled courts. Kids begin to build confidence while learning to serve, rally and move more comfortably on court.

AGE 8-10+

Orange Stage helps children build stronger tennis skills through game-based learning on larger courts. Players develop more control, consistency, tactics and teamwork while continuing to improve their movement and technique.

AGE 10+

Green Stage is designed for older children who are ready for more challenge and more advanced skill development. It suits both kids who are playing for fun and those looking to continue progressing in a more competitive setting.
