SPORTIME World Tour Rolls On With Australian Open-Themed Event in Syosset

March 7, 2025 | By Long Island Tennis Magazine Staff

The SPORTIME World Tour continued its trek across the globe in 2025 as SPORTIME Syosset held a Melbourne-themed event in honor of the Australian Open this winter.

The event features players from all of the Sportime facilities and has an array of on-court games, as well as plenty to take part in off the court. This includes a bounce house, food, music and more to create a fun tennis experience for Sportime’s youngest players.

Parents are invited to be spectators on the court and are able to see how much progress their child has made during their classes and lessons at Sportime. The coaches first run out with the players onto the courts as all the parents cheer them on, and the coaches then guide the players through different drills and games.

“The recent World Tour, Melbourne, at Sportime Syosset was a huge success, bringing young players together in a fun, competitive, and energetic atmosphere,” said Jared El-Gayeh, General Manager at SPORTIME Syosset. “Compared to the previous World Tour held at Sportime Port Washington, this event saw even more participation drawing players in from all over the Sportime community. It’s been incredible to see how these events continue to grow, both in attendance and in the enthusiasm from players, parents, and coaches alike.”

The World Tour continues on March 15 at SPORTIME Lake Isle with the theme being Indian Wells, and again on May 3 at SPORTIME Kings Park for a Rome-themed event.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of the World Tour is giving young players the chance to showcase their progress in front of their families and coaches. It’s a unique experience that builds confidence, encourages sportsmanship, and highlights their hard work in a fun and friendly setting,” El Gayeh added.” Seeing the joy and pride on the kids’ faces, especially when they pull off a great shot or win a key point makes all the effort worthwhile. Events like this reinforce the strong tennis community at Sportime and the impact of our developmental programs.”
