At Fit For Kids Co., we believe the best way to help children develop a lifelong love of sport is simple: give them more opportunities to find a sport they enjoy.
That’s why we’re excited to continue expanding the range of junior sport programs we deliver across Melbourne schools, with three nationally recognised programs now forming an important part of our school offering: Tennis Hot Shots, Shuttle Smash and MyGolf.
Three Sports. One Simple Goal.
Each program introduces children to sport in a way that is fun, accessible and appropriate for their age and ability.
Tennis Hot Shots
Tennis Australia’s Tennis Hot Shots program uses modified courts, racquets and lower-compression balls to make tennis easier for children to learn from their very first session.
Through games, challenges and match play, students develop their coordination, movement and racquet skills while building confidence on court.
Shuttle Smash
Developed by Badminton Australia, Shuttle Smash introduces students to badminton through fun, game-based activities and modified equipment.
The program develops hand-eye coordination, movement and racquet skills while providing a fast-paced sport that can be enjoyed by students of all experience levels.
MyGolf
Fit For Kids Co. now also delivers Golf Australia’s official MyGolf program.
Using innovative Golfway equipment, MyGolf allows children to experience golf in a safe and accessible school environment. Sessions can be delivered on school ovals, synthetic surfaces and indoor courts, without the need for a traditional golf course.
Students learn the fundamentals of golf through games and challenges designed to build skills, confidence and enjoyment.
Making More Sports Possible at School
One of the biggest advantages of these programs is their flexibility.
Schools don't necessarily need specialist sporting facilities to introduce students to tennis, badminton or golf. Modified equipment and adaptable session formats allow our coaches to transform existing school spaces into engaging sporting environments.
This opens the door for schools to offer students a broader range of sporting experiences through before-school, after-school, holiday and tailored school programs.
Helping Every Child Find Their Sport
Not every child is going to love the same sport, and we think that's a good thing.
A student who doesn't connect with football or basketball might discover badminton. Another might find their confidence through tennis, golf or one of the many other sports they experience at school.
Our role is to make those first experiences positive.
By creating welcoming, inclusive and enjoyable programs, we want children to associate being active with something they want to do, rather than something they have to do.
That philosophy sits behind everything we deliver at Fit For Kids Co. and our goal of creating Sport For Life.
Bring a New Sport to Your School
Fit For Kids Co. works with schools across Melbourne to deliver junior sport programs during the school term and holidays.
Alongside Tennis Hot Shots, Shuttle Smash and MyGolf, our broader offering includes basketball, soccer, netball, pickleball, table tennis, athletics and more.
Whether you're looking to introduce a new co-curricular program, trial a sport with your students or add something different to your next school holiday program, we'd love to hear from you.
