South Australian tennis legend John Fitzgerald will lead the primary students from St.Peter’s College (Adelaide) in a fun demonstration of MLC Tennis Hot Shots today.
MLC Tennis Hot Shots is Tennis Australia’s successful kids’ starter program, with more than 248,000 kids participating in the program nationwide during 2010-11.
In the past 12 months the MLC Tennis Hot Shots program was conducted by more than 470 Deliverers at approximately 940 official venues around Australia.
The modified balls, racquets and smaller court size used in MLC Tennis Hot Shots make tennis more accessible than ever to young children.
