Tennis For Kids Graceville is a tennis club and coaching centre located in the suburb of Graceville, Brisbane. As the 2021 Tennis Queensland Club of the Year finalist, they pride themselves on delivering high-quality tennis coaching and junior fixture programmes to children of all ages and skill levels.
Their team of handpicked coaches are passionate about making learning tennis fun for kids. They utilise the ANZ Hot Shots Framework, a Tennis Australia programme specifically designed for children, which incorporates tailored equipment, smaller courts, racquets, and low-compression tennis balls. This ensures that children are introduced to tennis in an environment that suits their age and skill level, enabling them to experience success and have fun right from the start.
Tennis For Kids Graceville offers a wide range of lesson options, including children's tennis coaching, ANZ Hot Shots tennis, teen squads, private lessons, and even adult tennis coaching. Most classes take place on location at local primary schools, making it convenient for parents to drop off and pick up their children before and after work.
The club emphasises that tennis is not just a sport but a total skill development activity for kids. Tennis lessons are known to improve coordination, hand-eye coordination, ball tracking and striking skills, while also building balance, foot speed, strength, fitness, agility, and flexibility. It is a sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family, as everyone can get on the court and have fun together, including parents, siblings, and even grandparents.
In addition to physical benefits, tennis also teaches important life skills. Children learn strategic thinking, problem-solving, discipline, and sportsmanship through tennis. Doubles play and tennis team events foster social skills and teamwork. Tennis For Kids Graceville believes that these skills are crucial for a child's overall development and well-being.
For those interested in hiring the tennis court for recreational use, Tennis For Kids Graceville offers court hire services. However, it's significant to note that players enter the courts and play at their own risk. The condition of the court surface and its suitability for different levels of play are determined by the hirer. Commercial coaching or competition bookings are not permitted, and there is a strict policy against alcohol, illegal substances, offensive items, weapons, sharp objects, and animals on or within the fenced area.
