2024 has been the year for Hot Shots Competitions at Albany Tennis Park. Seven fun, social opportunities for kids match play throughout the year, and one more to come!

Hot Shots Competitions are a great way for kids to play fun age and stage appropriate matches in a fun, relaxed environment.

This is what we are hearing:

“Thanks so much for today! Thanks for the opportunity you have offered. Hugo was doing better than I expected. It was a really great experience and I was really proud of him! Wish he could attend more of this kind of tournament in the future. He really enjoyed it.”
