| MLC Hot Shots |
The MLC Hot Shots program is the starting point for future champions. MLC Hot Shots is a fun and exciting way for children to learn the game of tennis. Children as young as 4 years of age join in the learning through play philosophy where children learn to serve, rally and score. Hot Shots is revolutionising tennis by using modified red, yellow and green balls and modified courts size and nets. The program is held Saturday mornings, the MLC Junior Hot Shots is for beginners (4-6 years) goes for 1 hour from 8.30am-9.30am. The next group, MLC Hot Shots goes for 2 hours from 8.30am-10.30am
Children 4-6 years in the Junior MLC Hot Shots beginners group have 1 hour of coaching due to their age and concentration levels.
