Monday opens with arrival, lunch and an initial assessment session covering power drives, drop shot placement and tailored skill work, followed by a doubles strategy masterclass and dinner at the resort. Tuesday continues with coaching across volleys, net play and serving technique in the morning, a fun tournament with prizes in the afternoon and a mental game tips session before dinner. Wednesday wraps with a recap and final session bringing everything together before farewell lunch and departure. Beyond the courts, the resort offers an adults-only pool, 24/7 gym, multiple restaurants including GATHER and Brewbar, and the kind of vineyard and mountain scenery that makes the Hunter Valley one of Australia's most loved getaway destinations.
