Tennis at Gardiner Tennis Club

Junior programs

Our junior pathway introduces children to tennis in a fun and structured way. Using age-appropriate formats (red, orange, and green ball), kids learn the fundamentals while developing coordination, confidence, and teamwork.

We also offer programs for older juniors (up to 12 years) with opportunities to progress to more advanced training and match play. Beginners are always welcome, with racquets available to borrow.

Adult programs

For adults, Gardiner Tennis Club offers beginner coaching, group lessons, and cardio tennis sessions. Whether you’re new to the sport, returning after a break, or looking for a social way to stay active, our adult sessions are inclusive and fun.

Coaching groups are small and supportive, ensuring you get personalised attention while enjoying the social side of tennis.

Facilities

• 5 clay courts under lights
