Hot Shots & Teen Tennis - Summer 2021 / 2022

Children enrolling in Hot Shots & Teen Tennis, will use the club registration process and will be enrolled for coaching sessions for the summer school terms (Term 4 & Term 1).
COVID Level 3.1
We have received guidelines from Tennis New Zealand and Tennis Northern regarding safe tennis play at COVID Level 3: Step 1. The guidelines from Tennis NZ & Tennis Northern will allow us to start our Hot Shots & Teen Tennis sessions, on time, from Monday 18th October.
Our coaches, Ken & Nico, are allowed to coach, subject to a maximum of 9 in a group, per coach and no more than 4 players on a court. Because we have two coaches at each session we will easily be able to split the players into two groups and fulfil this criteria. Our coaches have redesigned the sessions to ensure players are distanced appropriately.
Both our coaches have been fully vaccinated and will be following the COVID safety rules closely.
Coaching Programmes
Private coaching and regular programmes are available with our resident professional coaches, Ken McLeod & Nico Martin. Regular programmes are available to club members and the general public.
