Looking for an engaging School Sport program for your school? Look no further.
Tennis Macarthur is your local Tennis Association which has promoted and delivered tennis in the Macarthur (Campbelltown) and Liverpool area dating back to 1926. Tennis Macarthur strives to support schools and students in the Macarthur area through the game of tennis.
Our Tennis for School Sport program offers students in Primary and Secondary Schools the chance to learn valuable life skills in a fun and encouraging environment all the while aligning with the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (AC: HPE).
We centre the delivery of tennis in a modified environment (if your school doesn't have a tennis court, no problem!), with the use of an included equipment pack, smaller court set up, racquets and over-sized, low-compression tennis balls. The Partnership Program ensures students are introduced to tennis in an environment that is encouraging, developmentally appropriate, inclusive and fun to ensure maximum participation.
