PTiS in Action
Your support helps us grow the next generation of Kiwi tennis players and instill some pretty key lifelong skills within our kids.
Organising your local school tournament!
In the South Wairarapa, kids love padder tennis! We decided to run our first inter-school tournament after providing 10 schools with coaching and equipment.
The kids learn fast and want to compete. Now, it's become an annual event at Martinborough School.
Let's get your local school into padder tennis!

A special moment where the Year 3's and 4's get to learn about padder tennis from the older students. Drawn from the Tuakana-Teina Principle used in the Maori culture, learning new skills is best learned with experienced players
Kapiti Coast Inter-School Tournament
14 teams from 10 local schools attended our debut event at our new courts at Otaki Beach. A great venue for the kids with great parent support and mana shown by all schools who participated. See you next year!
Maidstone Intermediate School
It didn't take much for an Upper Hutt school to organise and host two local schools to come together and compete over a half day. MIS feeder schools are all being introduced to padder tennis in term one, 2026. We look forward to helping each school build their pathway into the MIS padder tennis programme!
What Teachers & Kids Say
"Padder Tennis is close to being our all-time favourite game at Halcombe School. Kids bring their own homemade bats to school and the break time battles are epic! We also have an inter-house competition where the senior students battle it out. Lots of staff play too!!”
