Where to play tennis? Your 2018 Summer Guide – ACT

We have seen it all and the Australian Open hasn’t even started.  Huge win by our Canberra boy Nick Kyrgios in the Brisbane International.  Ash Barty showed why she considered one of the top women players in the world (even with a two-year break from the sport), and how could forget about the Demon Alex Di Minaur.  What an incredible two week for the youngster making the semis in Brisbane and the final in Sydney.

With a successful Pro Tour in Canberra and upcoming Federation Cup tie also around the corner tennis courts will be filled with new players eager to give tennis a crack.

To make it easy for you I’ve listed a handful of playing options that will suit anyones situation.  Give tennis a go this summer and

Tennis Canberra is holding two kids tennis camps at the Old Parliament House Tennis Club this January.  Watch the video to see what happens at a Tennis Canberra Tennis Camp.

With tennis fever about to hit our phones start to ring with a few common questions.  I’m here to answer a few of them so we can help you kids get on the tennis court.

My kids have never played before, are they able to join?

Of course they can. Age usually determines which program a kids can handle.  We are lucky to have multiple coaches so you kids will fall under one of the ability groups within the program.

Aces Morning (9am – 10am)

  • Recommended for players aged 4-5 years old

Half-Day Program 

  • Recommended for players 6-12 years old

Full-Day Program

  • Recommended for kids 8 -16 years old

My kid doesn't have a racquet, do I need to get one?

We suggest that you borrow a racquet from us.  When parents buy a racquet off the shelf there is a good chance it will not suit the player.  Use our racquets and if you want to buy one for your kid be sure to ask the coach which one to get.

Those kids that sign up for a tennis season we give a FREE Racquet for first time season players.  For more information about our tennis season programs click here

We can't make a certain day, can we come to a select couple?

Yep, we advise if you can try to make the 3-day program so your kid has the full camp experience.  We understand scheduling factors can cause a player to miss a day or two.

Don’t worry just book the times and days that suit you… Any tennis is better than none!!

How do I sign up online?
