Juniors at Shooter’s Hill

At Shooter’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club, we support juniors at every stage: from picking up a racket for the first time through mini-red, orange and green ball tennis to yellow ball coaching, match play and team competition.

Whether your child is completely new to tennis, already playing regularly, or looking for more match opportunities, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
