Melbourne's favourite Friday night for juniors

Futures Tennis Academy Friday Night Competition is one of the most popular junior programs at East Malvern Tennis Club. Held weekly, it provides a fun, social, and supervised introduction to match play for players of all standards — from Hot Shots beginners through to teenage competitors.

Competition is a key part of player development. Our coaching philosophy encourages players to serve, rally and score from the early stages of learning, helping children build confidence, motivation, and a genuine love of the game.

How It Works

  • Held weekly on Friday evenings
  • Open to all standards, from beginners to teens
  • Coaches supervise every match
  • Players serve, rally and score from day one
  • Graded groups by ball stage and ability
  • Combines with weekly coaching for fastest improvement
