Parents, it’s that time of the year when the kids' shoes start to look a little past their prime... so rather than heading to the big retailers... get the best deals at your local tennis pro shop. We have gear for both boys and girls in a range of sizes and colours. We are sure you will be able to find the perfect fit at the perfect price. Head to Horizon Tennis > Pro Shop to view our stock online or better yet, come and visit us in person at the Our Lady of the Rosary School in Kenmore! And when you thought it couldn’t get any better... Horizon Tennis wants to ensure that all kids are stepping out on court prepared with the gear they need to succeed. That’s why we are offering the not only Head tennis shoe range but we are also stocking the Head backpacks and tennis racquets. We have racquets in a range of sizes so if your kid is ready to progress from the junior racquet into a full size, you can simply order online now and receive it in time for Term 3 lessons!

The Horizon Tennis "Holiday Tennis Camp" is hosted during the school holidays to provide a fun, outdoor vacation care alternative for working parents or for kids who want to practice their tennis skills over the break. Here are our top 5 highlights of why Tennis Camp is the perfect way to spend your school holidays: Our Tennis Camp is one of the most affordable in the area and a far more budget friendly option to traditional vacation care... plus it is WAY more fun to spend your holidays outdoors in the sun. We do more than just play tennis! That's right... you will sleep well after a day of oval games, lunchtime picnics and on-court entertainment. If you register for a full day you don't even have to worry about packing lunch! All kids will be provided with a fresh morning tea & lunch with dietaries accommodated for. Tennis Camp is for juniors from 4 years all the way up to 12 years old meaning you will be sure to make friends over the course of the five day camp. Tired of the hassle of organising holiday play-dates... bring a friend along to Tennis Camp! Registration for Tennis Camp during the Jun/July School Holidays is now open! We will commence on the 5th of July and run through to the 9th of July. Visit the link below to register for a half day, full day or full week. https://www.classhub.com.au/provider/horizontennis?period=998e39f8-b0a3-46f0-ab72-61a2f1941f4a

Over the past two weekends the Horizon Tennis juniors have defied all odds. We held off the wet weather for just enough time to host our inaugural Team Challenge and Club Championship competitions! We were thrilled to see students from Green, Orange and Red Ball levels compete over the course of the two weekends at the Our Lady of the Rosary school in Kenmore. Kids social competitions are a positive environment where juniors can practice how to serve and score, as well work together in doubles tournaments which are all great life skills. If you missed out this time don’t worry! We will be hosting more competitions at the end of Term 2 so the juniors can test how much they’ve improved over the course of the term.
