This programme has been successfully used worldwide. It is the easiest way to play tennis. The balls bounce lower and slower so they are easier to hit and the courts are smaller. This means that players are able to start rallying and have fun right from the first lesson, just as they do in other sports. Most Hot Shots programmes are offered at school and through community club play pathways. These programmes feed into the Capital Coaching Academies offered at our Club locations.
The four key elements of any Tennis Hot Shots session are:
- FUN Players are actively engaged, excited and motivated to participate.
- TACTICAL/PLAY Players think and make decisions about meaningful tennis situations.
- SKILLS Players have plenty of opportunities to improve their tennis skills.
- SOCIAL Players build social skills such as working cooperatively with a partner, building friendships, encouraging teammates and showing sportsmanship during game play.
