You can go to the Hot Shots website to find your local centre and if you sign the kids up now they get a free SpongeBob Square Pants Backpack. The MLC Tennis Hot Shots is run at local tennis centres through out the year. Local tennis coaches will put children through their paces at Margaret Court Arena prior to the start of the first day session match on the first seven days of the tournament. The older boys will be able to sit for much greater periods, but I know the younger ones will need to run out some energy after spells of quiet sitting! Activities on offer include:įamilies can play on the mini courts and learn about Tennis Australia’s kid’s starter program for kids aged five to 12. Additional tickets are at $34 each (pre-tournament prices).Īs the Ground Pass allows access to Garden Square and Grand Slam® Oval, we will be able to mix up tennis watching with activities for the kids, especially the younger ones. Once the tournament starts the price is $95.00. A Family Ground Pass (2 Adults & 2 Children or 1 Adult & 3 Children) if you buy it now is only $90.00. :Ī Ground Pass is an economical way for the family to see some great tennis. In the map below you can see the areas that we will have access to. We will go using Ground Pass tickets which will entitle us to access to all outside court action including Margaret Court Arena (subject to availability & scheduling). Looking further into it though this year when I was writing up my Christmas Present Ideas post, I changed my mind and we will head along with all the kids to the Australian Open 2013. I imagined it would be too much quiet sitting for the younger ones to be able to cope with. I had considered taking the kids to the Australian Open before as they have enjoyed watching the tennis on the TV, but thought it would fall into the category of being too hard to entertain all of the kids. When it comes to art/craft activities that the younger kids love, the eldest two are now too old for them and don’t come along. I have written before about how when it comes to the movies now, we often split into two and see two movies at the same time. With five kids aged from 14 to 3, it can be tricky at times to find a family activity that everyone will enjoy. It is a great event, I’m sure your family will love it. We took him to the Aussie Open once when he was three and couldn’t believe how long he sat quietly watching the tennis. My eight year old’s dream is to be number 1 in the world (He’s talented and determined so who knows?!!) He watches tennis for hours on TV analysing the pros game so he would love to sit in the stands watching them play live.
