The 'HotShots Happy Box' is back for Term 4. At Parkes Tennis juniors are encouraged to try their best and have a respectful attitude while at tennis. If they achieve this during their lesson, they will be given a ticket to write their name on and place it in the box to be drawn at the end of each Term and if they wear their HotShots shirt they receive a bonus ticket.

This has been very well received by both players and parents with increased positive behaviours achieved across all levels. We continue to inspire, influence and motivate our young people to strive to be the best people they can be.

Our focus is to create a positive culture and learning environment around respect. This includes respecting themselves, each other, their coaches, their equipment and our sport. The latest recipient is red ball player Lucas Jones.
