Tennis Hot Shots Match Play is an exciting junior competition delivered by tennis clubs, centres and associations.

Tennis Hot Shots Match Play is designed to give children aged 7-11 years old already playing tennis the opportunity to transition from learning the game to playing matches in a fun team environment. It is intended to give children a great experience in team tennis, which is the cornerstone for them falling in love with the sport, and retaining them as lifelong participants.

Key features of Tennis Hot Shots Match Play:

• Local program (delivered by national registered clubs/coaches, associations)
