ANZ Tennis Hot Shots - Learn to play

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots and the Learning to Play pathway

Children will progress through the three different stages (red, orange and green) as their ability improves. At each stage, players use low compression ball in combination with three different court sizes. 

Slower balls give players more time and control, making tennis easier to play. ANZ Tennis Hot Shots Deliverers ensure that all players use the appropriate ball and court size for their skill level.

Prep Stage

Exploring the prep stage (3 - 5 year olds)

By developing the players fundamental motor skills and incorporating these into learning the basics of the red court, it allows for an easy transition into our Red Ball Classes The small racquets allow consistent contact with the slow red ball.

Red Stage

Exploring the red stage (5-8 year olds)

By learning the basics on the red court, children will master new skills and learn how to move around the court. The small racquets allow consistent contact with the slow red ball. 

Children are able to:

• perform a circular swing on groundstrokes
• serve with variety of direction in a throwing motion
• rally with a partner for 20 shots
• vary speed and direction of the ball to move an opponent in a rally situation
• anticipate their opponent's shots
• perform a volley and overhead with some control and consistency in a rally situation
• cooperate with, and help others in a pair and team situation

Green Stage

Encouraging Hot Shots Green (10-12 year olds)

Even advanced players face a difficult time on the larger court. Playing forward, coming to the net, using the serve as a weapon - it all becomes a lot more difficult. Deliverers should emphasis an advanced court positioning, taking the ball on the rise and enough weight transfer into the shots.

Children are able to :

• perform shoulder turn, circular swing on groundstrokes and consistency in contact
• serve into the service box from the baseline
• rally with a partner for 20 shots on a full court
• readily adapt their strokes and court positioning in response to their opponent's actions
• utilise their strengths and exploit their opponent's weaknesses
• apply tactics in all game situations
• display respect for coaches, officials and other players

(Ages are a guideline for children entering the program)

From the green stage children will move on to play on a full court with a regular ball.
