Programs driven by community

Speak with your club about wanting to be a deliverer for the program.

Once you have reached an agreement, the registration process will require you to upload a current National Police Check and Working with Children Check. You can choose to sign up for Hot Shots Tennis, Cardio Tennis, or both.

You’ll be asked to enter credit or debit card details that will be used to process the licence fee.

You will also receive a link to our safeguarding children course – ‘A Safer Game Plan’ – through our online learning platform, Bounce, which you must complete for your registration to be approved.

Please note: Card information is collected, however payment will be placed on hold until the National Police Check and Working with Children Check is verified and the ‘A Safer Game Plan’ online module has been completed.

Once you have been approved as a deliverer, your equipment pack and physical resources will be sent to your submitted residential address. Please note that PO Box addresses are not accepted; delivery must be made to the residential address of the applicant. You’ll also gain access to the relevant online training modules and resources.

From there, you can begin planning your sessions and promoting the program locally. While there are suggested term plans and helpful tips, you’re free to structure your sessions in a way that works best for you and your club!

Registration lasts for 12 months. As your renewal date approaches, you’ll receive an email reminder with information about how to renew. Renewal for the programs is at no cost.

To renew, you’ll need to complete the program-specific online learning modules within your initial 12 months of registration.

Of course – support begins as soon as you register. You’ll receive emails throughout the first month of your registration, outlining the various resources and support that are available to you. You’ll also have access to ongoing education and resources that will be available through Bounce, including modules on diversity and inclusion, case studies from other volunteers and a suite of marketing tools to help you promote your sessions.

As a registered deliverer you’ll also have the opportunity to attend a face-to-face workshop that includes both classroom and on-court training. Speak to your local Tennis Development Officer – they can assist with booking this in and provide any specific guidance or support.

Absolutely! One deliverer can run both programs, or you can have different deliverers for each.

The most important thing is to ensure every deliverer is registered with Tennis Australia, have up-to-date background checks and complete the required training. They can also be supported by parents or other volunteers during their sessions – as long as the registered deliverer is always present.
