We encourage all parents to watch and support their child play tennis. However, we also encourage parents to give kids some space and not to interfere when the coaches are teaching. This will allow the students to focus and think for themselves on the tennis court. 

Here at DHA Tennis Academy we follow a pathway for kids to go through to make sure they are always in the correct class for their age and skill level. Coaches will constantly track their development and will contact you if they feel like it’s time for the student to progress to another class.

We run our programs according to the Victorian School terms. Over the holidays we also run school holiday clinics which are designed for students to play with others with similar age and abilities. There will be no classes running on a public holiday unless your coach organises it with you directly in advanced.

Here at DHA Tennis Academy we have a team of coaches that are very passionate about teaching tennis. 

Our goals, in addition to teaching your child skills in tennis, are to also instill in them important life skills such as focus, discipline and hard work which according to studies are critical for achieving goals and success in life. Through playing tennis children will learn to respond to adversity, adapt to 

different situations and deal with stress.
