Wimbledon Winter School Holiday Tennis Program
Join the Slamin Wimbledon Winter School Holiday Program!
Even though it’s summer over in Wimbledon, we’re turning these Melbourne school holidays into Wimbledon Winter! Get warm, have fun, make friends, and improve your tennis skills at our Wimbledon Winter Holiday Programs. All ages and levels are welcome!
Come along and join our school holiday program for a mix of fun, technical and physical activities that cater to players of all standards between the ages of 4 and 16 years.
Our holiday tennis programs are run in a fun, relaxed environment and consist of coaching and stroke development, activities, tennis based games, round robin tournament play with prizes and much more. These friendly clinics are a great way for children to spend their time away from school with their friends. They are also a great way to get the kids out of the house and doing something active during the school holidays.
Holiday Technique Coaching & Training Clinics
Holiday Clinics are incredible fun, very social, and progressive in learning – bookings are very flexible! Choose from any program, any day and book for the number of days that suits your holiday plans. Holiday clinics are suitable for all ages and experience levels whether you’re a first time player or on your way to a tournament! For established players, holiday clinics follow a predominantly rally-based curriculum, which builds upon your term coaching, improves your technique, strengthens your knowledge and application of tactics, and develops learning through play.
Slamin Tennis Orange, Green and Yellow Opens
The Slamin Open is a tournament event for children to test their skills against other children their age, learn how to score, and understand the rules of the match! Court craft, tactics, strategy, and team work are all additional learning outcomes for children. A competitive environment stimulates competitive pressure, and children are supported during this journey with an on court coach to assist them in handling pressure (and emotions), as they win, lose and draw to battle it out for the title of the Slamin Open Champion! A trophy is awarded to winners each day!
Private Lessons
You can book private lessons one-on-one with a coach, which naturally fast tracks a player’s progress due to the individual attention and focus they receive. These lessons are perfect for those players who want to improve quickly, or have limited time availability. They also suit players with high levels of motivation to improve, or players with additional learning needs. The perfect way to fast track development during school holidays when players have additional time off school!
Team Training
School holidays are the time when the entire team is free, so why not register for a team training session, and get your whole competition team together? Perfect to develop team tactics, doubles combinations, and styles of play as a team. Available for children and adults! (Sneak a session in for your night tennis team, and slam your opponents when the season returns!)
Come Along this June 2022!
- Fridays of each week are reserved as make up days in case of rain.
- *Certain ages available certain days only (please check when booking)
