The Get Active! School Tennis Program is a sport & recreation initiative providing young students with the opportunity to Get Active! playing tennis during school hours at St. Monica’s Primary School.

Get Active! is supported and delivered by Riley Tennis and the St. Monica’s Tennis Club with emphasis on ‘forging links between the local primary school, local tennis club and local tennis coach’ in the Moonee Ponds Community.

Get Active! gives all students at St. Monica’s Primary School the chance to utilise their own Tennis Club located on the grounds of their primary school.

Get Active! is designed for the grassroots of tennis, introducing all students to the fun game of tennis during the school year. Throughout the program students will learn the basic fundamental motor skills associated with tennis including coordination, movement, agility and balance. They will also have the opportunity to develop a tennis technique designed for the modern tennis player with activities focusing on ground-strokes, rallies, net-play and serving.

We believe that participation in all sports, especially tennis, at an early age generates a positive attitude in young children and will help them develop a healthy and active lifestyle.
