Join the crew!

We are excited to share that expressions of interest are now open for 2025 Workday Canberra International Ballkid and volunteer roles!

Ballkids

Ballkids play an integral role in ensuring that tennis tournaments run smoothly. Throughout the summer of tennis, each Ballkid is a focal part of every game. Whether you’re a seasoned tennis player or just a fan of the game, being a Ballkid is open to everyone! We provide all the training needed, and no prior experience is required!

Never been a Ballkid? That’s okay! To find out more and have a go, come along to one of the upcoming trials. The team will be there to take you through the basics and answer any questions you may have!

It is a wonderful opportunity to experience the upcoming Workday Canberra International, which will be held at the Canberra Tennis Centre from December 29th 2024 to January 4th 2025.

Training Information

Please see below table of trial and training dates. We have set up the training and trial dates whereby there is two opportunities to make each session to accommodate for a range of commitments. Each session will have either a Wednesday or Sunday session that will contain the same lesson structure and content.

We ask that new and returning Ballkids attend as many sessions as they can but at a minimum, we ask that kids have availability to make two out of the three trial and training sessions please.
