Tennis in Secondary Schools

Keep teens engaged through game-based tennis lessons that develop tactical awareness, cooperation, and lifelong active habits — all aligned with secondary HPE outcomes.

Tennis in Secondary Schools brings the excitement of tennis into Years 7–10 classrooms, using modified games and tactical challenges to engage students of all skill levels.

Co-designed with ACHPER, the Tennis in Schools program sets the benchmark in Australia. Delivered by Tennis Australia through the Sporting Schools platform, this program helps secondary students develop:

Tactical understanding
Communication and teamwork
Physical literacy and game sense
Lifelong enjoyment of physical activity

The program provides teachers with clear session plans, modified games, access to modified equipment, video resources to build confidence in delivering tennis, and ongoing professional learning opportunities.
