Strengthen Family Bonds with the Parents and Tots Program

19 August 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, finding quality time to spend with your children can be a challenge. The new Parents and Tots Program at Tennis World Melbourne Park has been designed to bridge that gap, offering an opportunity for parents to play and learn together, all while improving your physical and mental well-being.

A Shared Experience

The Parents and Tots program provides an opportunity for parents and their young children to improve their skills in the same sport at the same time. Designed with the Hot Shots and Cardio Tennis play to learn philosophy, the sessions not only help parents and children improve their tennis skills, but also facilitate connection with other parents and children at a similar skill level. Whether you’re a mum, dad, or grandparent, this program is a chance to connect with your little one and other parents in a friendly and social sporting environment.

Holistic Development for Kids and Parents

This program isn’t just about keeping kids busy; it’s about nurturing their development in a fun, supportive environment. Through the Blue Stage Hot Shots Program, your child will enhance their coordination, cognition, and motor skills. Simultaneously, you’ll benefit from fitness activities and build a network of fellow parents. It’s an opportunity to learn practical drills and activities that you can take home, ensuring that the physical development doesn’t stop when the session ends.

Fun, Engaging, and Healthy

Our goal is for both you and your child to have fun while learning new skills. Whether you’re rekindling a passion for tennis or trying it out for the first time, this program ensures that both you and your child are engaged, active, and learning. We aim to inspire parents to be healthy role models, showing children that physical activity is both fun and essential.

A Community for Parents and Kids
