Does my child need prior tennis experience to join?

No. Our Townsville school holiday tennis programs are suitable for beginners through to more experienced junior players, with activities adapted to different tennis skill levels.

What if my child is shy or needs time to settle in?

Our Townsville school holiday tennis programs are run in a calm, low-distraction environment, making them ideal for children who are shy or need extra time to feel comfortable. Parents are welcome on court to help children settle in at the start of sessions, with confidence building naturally through movement, play, and positive coaching.

No regular lessons run during our school holiday tennis programs, creating a quieter, low-distraction environment. Private lessons may be scheduled before or after sessions.

Children should bring a drink bottle, hat, sunscreen, and comfortable sports clothing. Tennis racquets can be provided if needed, and fruit and seasonal treats may be offered during breaks.

Do parents need to stay during the school holiday tennis session?

No, parents do not need to stay for the entire session. We recommend parents stay for the first session or the first 30 minutes, particularly for younger or new children, to see how they settle in. Once children are comfortable, parents are welcome to drop off after signing their child in on arrival.
