Introducing Tennis Hot Shots Matchplay to Dunedin
This is the NZ and ITF endorsed success based match play format for players in Hot Shots programmes.
Catering for children aged 7-12 in red, orange and green stages of the programme.
Match play on smaller courts, with modified racquets, modified balls and modified scoring formats, designed specifically for kids to play and enjoy success in tennis from their first try. There is no coaching, this all about playing the game.
The focus is on fun while developing match play skills, with prizes and music each week.
Over the 4 weeks, the players will hit a lot of balls, and start to learn the rules and the etiquette of Tennis including handshakes, fair play, competing, simple scoring and winning and losing with resilience. The format has children playing singles while being part of a team competing together every session. Each event the teams will be made up to ensure lots of opportunity for a variety of matches and friendships to be made too.
