Junior tennis players learning on court at Elsternwick Park

Progress that feels good.

EPTC’s junior programme is built around steady improvement, friendships and choice. Coaches keep lessons clear: a small number of skills, time to practise them, then rallying and game play that makes those skills meaningful.

Tots & Mini

Early experiences for ages 2–5: movement, coordination and plenty of fun.

Red, Orange & Green

Age-appropriate equipment and court sizes keep the game achievable as players develop.

Yellow & Squad

For growing players ready for a full-court game and more structured training.

How a junior lesson works.

1. Specific skill

Feeding drills introduce one or two clear ideas for the session.

2. Rally it

Rallying activities help players practise those ideas with another player.

3. Play it

A competitive exercise brings in scoring, match play and a sense of achievement.
