Wentworth Tennis Club

Last updated April 2026

At Wentworth Tennis Club in Paddington, Sydney, kids can learn tennis in a fun, supportive environment where every session ends with a high-five and a game that actually feels like play. The red clay courts are perfect for little feet, and the coaches know exactly how to turn shaky swings into forehand winners. Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time or refining a serve, the lessons here are designed to build confidence alongside skills. The club’s leafy Paddington setting means you’re just minutes from some of Sydney’s best kids’ activities, making it easy to pair a tennis session with something else fun. Parents love that the lessons are structured but never stuffy, and the focus is always on having a great time. **What to Bring** Light, breathable clothing and proper tennis shoes. A water bottle and a sunhat — Paddington’s afternoon sun is no joke. Bring a towel if your child tends to get sweaty during active play. Pack a snack for after the session; the club is close to great Paddington cafes if you prefer to grab something nearby. **Best Age Range** Lessons are tailored for 5–12 year olds, with beginner groups starting at age 5. Younger siblings can sometimes join in for modified play if they’re keen, but the structured lessons really shine for school-aged kids. **Good to Know** Lessons run in 8-week blocks during school terms, with holiday intensive programs available for school holiday activities in Sydney. Bookings are essential — spaces fill fast, especially in summer. Parking is limited on Quarry Street, so arrive 10 minutes early or consider the nearby side streets. Check the website for up-to-date pricing, which varies slightly by age group and session length. **Nearby** After tennis, head to the Paddington Reservoir Gardens — a stunning, open-air space perfect for kids to run around and explore. Or grab a bite at The Grounds of the City, a short drive away, where the kids’ menu is a hit with little ones. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early for the first session to help your child settle in — the coaches are great, but a little prep makes the transition smoother. Bring a change of socks; kids often swap shoes mid-session and end up with damp feet. If your child loves it, ask about the club’s holiday camps — they’re a fantastic way to keep the tennis momentum going during school breaks.
