School Holiday Program

Stay Active Holiday Camps

Our Stay Active Camps are designed to keep kids moving, building confidence, and making new friends in a fun, supportive, and energetic environment.

Each day is packed with a wide variety of sports, games, and outdoor activities, giving kids the chance to stay active, try new challenges, and enjoy their school holidays.

A typical day at Stay Active Camp includes:

🎾 Tennis activities and skill games
⚽ Multi-sports and team challenges
🏃 Movement games and athletic activities
💦 Water play sessions and swimming days
🎬 Relaxed games and a movie session to finish the day

The day begins with drop-off from 8:00am (early drop-off available from 7:30am), where kids start with warm-up games and free play to get everyone moving and settled in.

Throughout the morning, the group rotates through tennis, multi-sports, team challenges, and skill games, making the most of our covered courts so activities can continue in any weather.

After a morning tea break, the kids jump back into more group activities and games before stopping for lunch.

In the afternoon, the fun continues with either our optional 1.5-hour swimming session at Tobruk Pool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, or on Tuesdays and Thursdays, our exciting water play session featuring the slip n’ slide and a water gun battle.

Once everyone has dried off and settled back in, the day winds down with some relaxed games before finishing with a movie session in our air-conditioned room, giving kids time to recharge before pickup at 5:00pm.

Performance Tennis Camps

Our Performance Tennis Camps are designed for players who are serious about improving their game and taking the next step in their tennis development.

These camps provide a high-energy, structured training environment where players work closely with our experienced coaching team to develop their technical, tactical, physical, and mental skills.

Throughout the camp, players will focus on:

🎾 Advanced stroke development
🎾 Matchplay and tactical decision making
🎾 Movement, agility, and athletic performance
🎾 Point construction and competitive drills
🎾 Confidence and match readiness

Each session is designed to replicate real match situations, helping players improve their ability to perform under pressure while developing consistency and strong habits on court.

Players will also receive guidance on professional training standards, routines, and mindset, helping them better understand what it takes to compete at higher levels of the game.

Who Can Attend

Performance Camps are exclusively available to players currently training within our program at Red 2 level or above.

This ensures all participants are training alongside players of a similar standard, commitment, and work ethic, creating the best possible learning environment.

Why Join Our Performance Camps

✔ Structured high-performance training
✔ Small coach-to-player ratios
✔ Competitive matchplay opportunities
✔ Professional coaching and mentoring
✔ A fun but focused team environment

These camps are a fantastic opportunity for players to accelerate their development, stay active during the holidays, and build strong connections with teammates within the Cairns Tennis Academy performance pathway.

Range Of Activities

Our program offers a range of activities that help children develop motor skills, coordination and team spirit. Tennis Drills & Matchplay provide skill-building exercises and game practice, allowing kids to improve their technique. Multi-Sport Activities like soccer, basketball and dodgeball keep children moving, while Indoor Games such as table tennis and board games, provide engaging options for hot or rainy days.

Is the Program Government-Subsidised?

Our School Holiday Program is not government-subsidised, as it’s a professional coaching initiative under Tennis Australia, focusing on active engagement. While not classified as “Vacation Care”, we offer similar hours and fully supervised sessions. To ensure accessibility, we’ve set a competitive rate of $60 per day, dropping to $55 for weekly bookings, providing affordable, quality programs and activities.

What to Bring

Parents are encouraged to pack enough food and water to keep their child fuelled for the day. Baseline Tennis Academy does not provide food, so please pack morning tea, lunch and snacks. Children should also bring a hat, sunscreen and comfortable sports attire, along with any required medical supplies.
