Coaching Programs

Children's programmes

Tony is a High Performance Coach through Tennis Australia who will provide high quality coaching programmes for any age and any standard. If children do not learn the correct swing patterns of how each stroke is produced early their game will break down when they reach 13 and older. Our aim is to give every junior the base to reach their full potential – where ever that may be. Children gain more enjoyment from the game the longer they can maintain a rally.

We provide the pathway necessary for children to progress with their tennis as long as they desire all the way to competing at an international level. Our level of coaching, competition, training and nutritional programmes keep pace with the juniors requirements as they progress with their tennis.
