MLC TENNIS HOT SHOTS

What is MLC Tennis Hot Shots? It is Tennis Australia's official kids' starter program for children aged 5-12 years old.

It's for kids and through the use of modified court sizes and low-compression balls, kids learn to serve, rally and score in a game that is appropriate to their developmental needs.

Building them up for bigger and better things, children progress through the three developmental stages - Red, Orange and Green.

At each stage, ball compression and court size increases in line with players' development. This gradual progression improves players' skills and prepares them to play on a full-size court with a regular ball.
