Sporteka introduces your child to Tennis as part of the Multisports program. If your child shows an interest in Tennis why not enrol him/her into our ‘Learn and Play’ Tennis program. Not only will your child have fun participating in a unique Tennis format but he/she will also develop the skills necessary to participate in future Talent ID events, appear in front of Australian open spectators on kids on court showcase days at the Australian open, compete in red, orange or green ball challenges and have fun experiencing the world of tennis around champions of the game.
We specialise in teaching tennis to very young children in comfortable indoor environments?

Ball handling activities promote brain connections?
"Some ways that we move actually improves learning. When children use both sides of their brain, functioning is enhanced." (Dr. Kay Margetts, Associate Professor of Early Childhood Development University of Melbourne, Article: Development of Fundamental Motor Skills)
How students feel about themselves can be influenced by their physical skills?
"Students who have achieved fundamental motor skill competence have been found to perceive themselves as being competent, socially accepted and to have a positive attitude towards physical activity. In essence, fundamental motor skill competence assists in preparing students for a healthy lifestyle.
The early development of fundamental motor skills is important for children’s development?
"For toddlers, basic movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing and kicking do not just appear because a child grows older, but emerge from an interaction between hereditary potential and movement experiences. These behaviours are also clearly influenced by the environment.
Obesity can be set in the early years of a child’s life?
New research based on the Early Bird Study of children from birth to puberty and published in the Herald Sun December 19th 2008 found that obesity is determined before the age of five. The study found that at birth children were the same weight as children born 25 years ago but by puberty they’d gained more fat compared with children of the same age in the 1980s. Most of the excess weight was put on before the age of 5.
