School lessons Prep - yr 6

Pure Tennis Ferny Hills currently runs an introduction to tennis school program at 5 local primary schools.  These programs are offered before school and are designed conveniently so that you can drop your child off on your way to work and know that they will be taken care of in a fun and healthy environment.  OSCH can also bring kids down to the courts if you need an earlier drop off time. 

Our school program caters for children of all ages, and each class has a coach to student ratio of 1:10. Once your child has learnt the basics at school & would like to continue developing their skills, Pure Tennis Ferny Hills offers a variety of tennis classes that can cater to these children.
