Junior Tennis
Junior Tennis is highly encouraged at the club with time allocated for after-school play and coaching. A large cohort of Juniors receive coaching from Lead Tennis Academy - through head coach Callen Ritcey. Junior social tennis afternoons are organised from time to time to create fun opportunities for the kids to play tennis and hang out together.

It was the first time many had played in a real game situation and they enjoyed the thrill of competing (and the challenge of scoring). The Sunday BBQ was a winner - as was the tennis!
