About

Our Story

Kiwi Tennis is Waikato’s leading tennis coaching provider. We offer a holistic approach to the sport of tennis in a fun, learning environment – with programs available for players of all ages, stages and ability levels.

Founded in 2012, our team aims to create positive opportunities for every individual we coach. Whether your goal is the world stage or to achieve a personal best, we have a program for you.

Our vision is to build champions for life, and in life. We have witnessed first-hand how sport can be used in a powerful way to build a player into a respectful and disciplined individual. Through our service of teaching tennis, we strive to provide exceptional coaching and leadership to our students, while simultaneously teaching etiquette and sportsmanship.

We are strong advocates of education, both in sports and academics, and believe that the two complement each other from pre-school to university, and subsequently onto the tour.
