Tennis

Term 3 Tennis registrations page is now open, please click here to enrol.

Places are available for all interested students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Lesson days and times will be confirmed based on enrolment numbers, with sessions held at the MLC School tennis courts. Costs will also be determined once enrolments are finalised. Students are required to wear the MLC School Sport uniform. There are no fixed days or times for private, semi-private, or group lessons; instead, students are asked to nominate three preferred or available time slots. Once all enrolments have been received, a timetable will be created based on these preferences, with current students given priority in allocation. Squad sessions are generally scheduled at the same time each term, although they may still be subject to change. Parents will receive an email prior to the start of each school term confirming lesson days and times. If a scheduled lesson clashes with another activity, efforts will be made to rearrange; if this is not possible, fees will be refunded.

MLC School Tennis Lesson Offerings

Private Lessons - A private lesson is a one-on-one coaching session between a player and a coach. It is fully tailored to the individual’s needs, focusing on technique, tactics, movement, or specific goals such as competition preparation or skill correction. Progress tends to be faster because the coach’s full attention is on one player.

Best for: Players wanting personalised coaching, rapid improvement, or targeted feedback.

Semi‑Private Lessons - Semi-private lessons involve two players working with one coach. Players are usually of a similar standard and can practice together while still receiving individual feedback. This format balances personal input with shared drills and is often more cost-effective than private lessons.

Best for: Friends, siblings, or training partners at a similar level.

Group Lessons - Group lessons involve up to four players training together with one coach. This small group size allows for a strong balance between personalised feedback and interactive drills. Sessions focus on technical development, consistency, point play, and decision-making, while ensuring each player receives regular coach attention.

Best for: Players who enjoy learning in a social environment while still receiving quality, individual feedback.

Hot Shots - Hot Shots is a modified tennis program designed for young children up to six students, using smaller courts, lighter racquets, and low‑compression balls. Lessons focus on fun, coordination, and basic tennis skills through games and challenges, building confidence and a love for the sport.

Best for: Beginners, typically ages 4–10, who are new to tennis. 
(Delivered in stages such as Orange, and Green.)

Squads - A squad session is a high-performance or development‑focused group training environment. Players are selected based on age, ability, or competitive level. Sessions are more intense and structured, often involving advanced drills, fitness, tactical play, and match simulation.

Best for: Tournament players and committed juniors aiming to compete or progress to higher levels or students that would like a more fun game-based learning experience
