Hot Shots Program
The Hot Shots program is for kids looking to start tennis. Each lesson uses modified equipment with softer tennis balls and smaller rackets making it easier for kids to play the sport. The starting age is 4 years and the class size is a maximum of 6 students per class. Class time is 45 minutes and a free racket is included for kids who participate in the full 8-week term, along with an ANZ Hot Shots t-shirt. Rackets can be provided for all other ages. Anyone joining mid or late term will only pay for the classes remaining.
The 3 stages of Hot Shots are: Red Ball (Explore) 4–7 years, Orange Ball (Develop) 8–10 years, and Green Ball (Encourage) 9+ years.

Semi-Private and Private Lessons
Private classes are a great way to work on a particular part of your game or to fine tune your overall playing skills. Class times can vary from 30 minutes up to 45 minutes. If you would prefer to share a class with a friend or family member, a semi-private class is another option.
Junior Competition
The Chelsea Heights tennis club competes in the Bayside Region Tennis Association. Games take place on a Saturday morning from 8am, 8.30am or 10am depending on each club. Each player will play 1 singles and 1 doubles set game. There are 3 sections: Green Ball level 12 years and under, Girls Sets and Mixed Sets 18 years and under. Green Ball level and Mixed Sets allow both boys and girls in the same team.
There are 14 rounds plus finals with no games during school holidays or public holiday weekends. Matches are played at both home and away within the Bayside region. Each player must become a junior or family member and pay a $20 ball and registration fee which covers the 6-month season. Competition is a great way to test your skills, make new friends and gain the social benefits of playing in a friendly club environment.
