What we believe & value?

We believe in inspiring the next generation of tennis players, and particularly, pride ourselves on developing and growing participation at the grassroots level. Therefore, our goal, is to develop family friendly community tennis hubs where people come to play our great game.

Furthermore, since playing tennis requires a range of "life skills" we also believe tennis enhances peoples lives . Obviously tennis is about developing a players technical, tactical, physical and psychological skills, but, it also develops the social, emotional and behavioural skills as well. 

The sport of Tennis commenced in Europe, at the end of the 11th century, when players first hit the ball with the palm of their hands. After 800 years, to this day, it remains a truly unique world leader in sport!

It can be a, team or individual sport, equally as popular with boys and girls. You umpire it between yourself and your opponent. You can play with and/or against the same and the opposite sex e.g. mixed doubles. The game is based on standard, not age, therefore you can play with and against all age groups.  You can play it with the entire family, all year round, with minimal equipment, indoors or out and whilst playing, without realising, you are engaging in a healthy lifestyle. It is played by all countries, with equal opportunity, world wide, including adding to the game their own diverse cultures, religions and ethnicities. Subsequently, it is the most inclusive of sports with a rich and long history of bringing people together, all over the world, for your entire life. No wonder it has lasted for so long...

Lastly, since 1973, we have had the first professional sports people paid to play with equal pay for male and females, right back when a young Aboriginal girl called Evonne Goolongong from outback Australia became the first mother to be crowned the number one player in the World. What an amazing sport! 

This is why we love the game and this is why we promise to promote and foster it at every opportunity. 

Testimonials

We have been at Futures Tennis Academy for more than 6 years now and we love it. The coaches are terrific with children, kids develop the correct techniques from the beginning and they are taught all aspects of the game. I would recommend this academy to any child that wants to learn how to play tennis.

The professionalism, dedication & skill of the coaches is second to none. Coaches are always enthusiastic, punctual and relate to both kids and adults alike. They are keen to help us improve our technique and strategy of the game, whether beginners like our kids or a more advanced adult like ourselves.

I’m sure Rachael has let you know she has made the Caulfield Grammar Girls’ 1st tennis team. That’s a big congratulations to you and your coaches. Her challenge was to compete against both her Elsternwick and Wheelers Hill Campus’ for a place. She’s been nominated as the 7th player out of 12. She’s so proud, and it’s lovely to see her so keen, and inspired.

I wanted to let you know about the excellent job Renato has done with our classes. He has been able to get to know all the children and captivate them with new games each session – our children have responded to him so well. I have had students asking for him again this week hence why we decided to do extra sessions! You’re very lucky to have such a talented coach working with you.
