The Australian Sport Commission have announced a huge $100 million dollars of funding for a new initiatiative called the Sporting Schools Program. The program will take over from the existing scheme the Active Afterschool Communities Program. The plan is to get more kids active by bringing sports programs into schools. The program will allow kids to gain access to qualitiy coaching & the schools to gain access to quality resources to try and get kids moving again!

Recent statistics have shown the huge effect that sedentary lifestlyes are begining to have on the health system and these types of programs are going to be crucial in combating these trends.

At the current period it is estimated that 13,000 deaths per year are now attributed to some form of inactivty. We are obviously huge believers in the power of sport to change these stats, and restore Australia to the healthy & vibrant nation we ought to be!

Check out some of the great videos below & dont forget to get your kids outside and playing sport! Their lives depend on it.

We are now in the middle of our second week back of the ANZ Tennis Hotshots program and everyone is doing an incredible job. After the excitement of the Australian Open it is just great to see so many kids getting out and giving tennis hotshots a red hot go. This week we have been working on the fundamental motor skills associated with the serve. To see some of our preps already having a go at an overhead serve is pretty impressive indeed!

Below are some pics from the first few weeks of clinics, classes & demo days that we have done around bayside Melbourne & the east.

Enjoy!

As part of the ANZ Tennis Hotshots Program we were lucky enough to be able to take a group of rising star students to the Australian Open yesterday! 

We had an amazing morning as the kids were treated like proffesional players. They were taken underneath Margaret Court Arena to where the players enter the stadium, they were given acreditation and were then able to play on the court for about 25 minutes before the first game of the day! As you can imagine the parents and coaches had almost as much fun as the kids, watching it all and taking photos.

The children were even involved in the Australia Day ferstivities and were given high fives by famous tennis stars, Borkman, Johanson & the Woodies!

If you too would like a chance to play at the Australian Open next year, make sure you sign up for the ANZ Tennis Hotshots program in 2015!

Enjoy some snaps from the day below:

Above is a snapshot from last weeks ANZ Tennis Hotshots session in Edithvale, Victoria. Here you can see the students warming up by throwing and catching whilst emulating the stance and techniqe of a tennis shot. You can see the student above has a great follow through action indeed! 

The warm up is a great chance to really get the students understanding the theme and concepts of the session before fully getting into it! We use our warm ups to try and educate the students on the shots they will be performing over the next 40 minutes!

It is also a great way to prepare the various muscle groups for what is to come! We use it to increase blood flow and generally get the body 'ready'.

Hope everyone is warming up today before their sessions! We will see you bright and early tomorrow for the next round of warm ups & excersises!
