Tennis West
and Tennis Australia turn kids into Hot Shots.
Tennis West
is contributing to the
tennis revolution by jumping onboard Tennis
Australia’s kid’s
starter program - MLC Tennis Hot Shots.
Tennis
superstar Alicia
Molik has thrown her support behind MLC Tennis Hot
Shots to get more kids active through playing the game
of tennis.
“I
have always really enjoyed playing tennis, and it is
great to see young kids having fun as part of the MLC
Tennis Hot Shots program.
The softer balls and smaller courts really give
them the chance to play the game, and get a feel for
tennis, from the very beginning,” Alicia Molik said.
MLC
Tennis Hot Shots is for children under 12 years of age.
The use of low
compression tennis balls, smaller racquets and courts
makes it easier for children to start playing tennis in
a scaled down environment.
The International
Tennis Federation (ITF) recommends the use of red,
orange and green modified ball and court sizes, all part
of MLC Tennis Hot Shots, as the ideal development
pathway.
The competition
program enables children who are not yet able to play
tennis on a full size court with a regular tennis ball
to compete against others at a similar standard whilst
having fun.
Launched during the
lead up to the 2008 Australian Open, the program has
already attracted hundreds of official venues, with
thousands of children now experiencing competition
tennis for the first time. This is a great
opportunity to get all children involved in tennis, the
sport of a lifetime.
