What is the structure of the coaching program at EPTC?
At Elsternwick Park Tennis Centre we have a tennis programme for any age and specially designed skills test to give players a better focus and goal to move through the Hotshots & Junior programme. We want to move players through each ball colour as quickly as possible but whilst making sure they have the skills to do so. That is why you see ages cross over into different all colours.
How do players move up skill levels:
