School Holiday Tennis Programs in Melbourne's West

A full program of tennis and fun

Holiday sessions are designed to keep children engaged throughout the day. Coaches rotate groups through movement activities, stroke development, serving, rally challenges, team games and age-appropriate match play. The variety helps players stay focused while reinforcing skills through repetition and play.

Beginners receive clear introductions to grips, contact points, movement and scoring. More experienced players work on consistency, direction and point construction in activities matched to their level. Modified balls and courts help younger players experience successful rallies instead of waiting until they are big enough for adult equipment.

Confidence and friendships beyond the court

A good holiday program builds more than tennis technique. Children practise communication, teamwork, independence and fair play in a supervised environment. They meet players from other coaching groups and leave with new challenges they can continue at their regular lessons.

Programs are scheduled during selected Victorian school holiday periods, with dates, venues, age groups and session details announced before each break. Places may be limited to maintain a safe and productive coach-to-player ratio. Families can contact DNTA to confirm the next available program and the best group for their child.

Choosing the right holiday group

When booking, families should share the child’s age, tennis experience and any regular coaching level. That information helps DNTA place participants with suitable activities and challenge. Children should arrive in comfortable sports clothing with tennis shoes, a hat, sunscreen, water and a snack. Racquet availability and the exact daily requirements can be confirmed when each holiday schedule is released.
