Private lessons develop motor skills, coordination, and a strong foundation for long-term success. Learning at a young age is ideal so the technical & tactical habits are embedded at an early age. Whether it’s one-on-one or private groups, our qualified coaches offer tailored lessons to help your child reach their tennis goals.
It went great. Margot absolutely Emily and had lots of fun! She was also doing really well for her first lesson, could hit forehands, backhands and volleys over the net fairly consistently. It as a really good lesson 🙂 We’ll definitely be seeing Emily every Monday.
Alyssa is enjoying the Private Group Lessons and has learnt a lot! Harry is a great teacher, very patient and teaches great technique whilst still making it fun.
The coaching has been fantastic, and I can see the skills improving. Thank you for the great experience.
Just wanted to let you know that the kids loved their lesson yesterday! They really liked Ryan, and both came home so excited and with some drills to practice. Thanks again – we’ve honestly been so impressed with Tennis Excellence.
Rob has been a brilliant coach for my son, his ability to connect and communicate to a child is top class. His dedication to his craft and patience is amazing. Thoroughly recommend Rob.
Kuni is an amazing coach & Sam thoroughly enjoyed his lesson.
I think Esteban will be a great coach. He is very passionate and patient.
We have had such a positive experience with both our kids (5 & 6 yo) at Bluegum. Coach Jeremy has really fostered their love for tennis while also working meticulously with their technique.
It was a jolly tough drill session in 35 degree heat! Chris is an inspiring, knowledgeable and really energetic, super coach. My team really enjoys our training sessions with him too. Again, many thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have always shown us professionalism, kind friendliness and have been helpful with any questions. Junior Club at Blue Gum has always given us a wonderful sense of community during these past 3 years. Thank you for the great memories!!
Teen Squads are intended for players transitioning into their teenage years. This program is perfect for teens looking to advance from the Hot Shots program and develop more competitive tennis skills.
Players will focus on refining their technical skills while being introduced to tactical scenarios for competitive play. They will have the opportunity to practice these skills on a full court, encouraging their progression and development.
If you’re unsure which squad is best for your teen, don’t worry! Players are invited to progress through the squads based on their skill level and development. For those interested in the Competition Squad or Young Adult Squad, an assessment can be arranged to evaluate where your teen fits best.
