‘Starting kids early - keeping them active’’
What do parents say about Little tacker tennis?
Parents rave about Little tacker tennis because it develops children’s concentration, ball and listening skills, and exposes them to sport from an early age. The unique indoor ball and racquet skills program runs throughout each school term and uses modified equipment that enables children as young as 3 to develop their skills in a fun and safe environment.

Program inception
Utilising his secondary and primary school teaching experience and international
tennis playing and coaching expertise, Shane Scrutton founded the program
in 2004 and has instructed hundreds of children aged 3-5 since the program’s
inception.
In doing so, Little tacker tennis has successfully introduced the sport
to children who otherwise could not participate in conventional tennis
lessons. His group of enthusiastic and experienced coaches provide a structured
and fun-filled environment that promotes tennis and physical activity.
