Hot Shots is a Tennis Australia program. Official Hot Shots artwork will be added here once you send the logo files — nothing has been recreated or altered.

How you prepare is how you play.

No matter the stage, skills in preparation and anticipation are essential to a player's foundation.

Sessions are built around games, movement and repetition — so players build the right habits while actually enjoying being on court.
