Tennis

Anita Zuber

SportsForce Tennis Development Officer

Tennis is a sport for life and can be played across the widest age range. Unlike many other sports, it is gender even, giving equal opportunity for girls and boys to participate in, enjoy and achieve. In addition, tennis is a safe, non-contact sport that does not need to rely on expensive equipment.

I am working with all the affiliated clubs throughout the Waikato helping them provide quality coaching programmes and club sessions. Most clubs are offering junior coaching at all levels with the opportunity for pathways to the Regional Performance Centre based at the Waikato Tennis Centre in Dey Street, Hamilton East.

Programmes on offer are Easi Tennis, Cardio Tennis, Grasshoppers After-School Coaching Sessions, Holiday Programmes as well as courses for training to be a coach through the Community Coach Course and the Assistant Coach Course. Click here for details of all of these programmes.

Tournaments and Interclub participation is available to all affiliated club players throughout the region and updates of these are available here.

If you are wanting to find out more about tennis or about joining a club or finding a coach, please check the website: www.tenniswaikatobays.co.nz  or contact me direct on (07) 8568181 ext 7 or email: sportsforce@tenniswaikatobays.co.nz

Grasshoppers Tennis

We have introduced a new games-based programme through the primary schools called Grasshoppers Tennis.

This programme focuses on fundamental skills and provides a seamless integration in to the PE curriculum and directly links with children joining a national programme through tennis clubs.

The children play with smaller racquets, low compression balls and foldable tennis nets.

Easi Tennis

“Easi Tennis” is a programme designed for adults wanting to learn to play tennis or brush up on tennis skills.

This is a series of lessons introducing players to all the basic strokes as well as offering match-play situations and links to club nights. This programme should be available at most clubs at the beginning of the summer season.
