What is Hot Shots?

Tennis Hot Shots is Tennis Australia's national program for kids aged roughly 3 to 10. Courts are smaller, nets are lower and the balls are softer and slower, so kids can rally properly from the first few lessons. Players move through Blue, Red, Orange and Green stages as their skills grow.

How do I enrol?

Use the enrol form on this site and tell us which program you are interested in. David will get back to you to confirm a day and time. You can also call or email us directly.

Do I need my own racquet?

Not to start. We have racquets in every size to borrow while you decide. When you are ready to buy, David can recommend the right size and weight.

What should we wear and bring?

Runners, comfortable sports clothes, a hat and a water bottle. Sunscreen in summer. That is it.

Is there parking?

Yes. Off-street parking next to the tennis club is available. The entrance is off Spencer Road.

What happens if it rains?

If the courts are unplayable we will advise you as early as we can by SMS, but please presume that the session is on unless you are contacted. If the session is cancelled there will be a make-up session or you will receive a credit.

How are lessons paid for?

Junior group programs are paid by term account. Cardio Tennis is $33 per session, paid on a casual basis. Bank details are on your enrolment confirmation.

Do I have to be a member of East Camberwell Tennis Club?

Everyone enrolled with Avanti Tennis at ECTC becomes an affiliate member of the club, which brings a few extra benefits and news from Tennis Victoria and Tennis Australia. Full club membership is separate and optional.

Can complete beginners join as adults?

Yes. Adult group lessons and Cardio Tennis suit any level, including people who have never held a racquet. Small groups, no judgement.

What are the invitation-only squads?

The Grand Slam Squad and High Performance Squad are for players identified through our talent ID program who want to train more often and compete. Ask David if you think your child is ready.
