Open to children aged 5 to 17 years, the afternoon aims to introduce young players to the game in a fun and welcoming environment.

Tuesday will host two sessions, one for children aged 5 to 9 years of age from 3:30pm to 4:30pm and the second from 4:30pm to 5:30pm for children aged 10 t0 17 years.

The Association also encourages adults interested in learning or returning to tennis to get involved. Coaching is available for players of all ages and abilities, and Tom’s programs can be tailored to suit individual needs and goals.

A recent snapshot from the courts captured junior player Macie enjoying a game of doubles with Christine. After finishing a coaching session with Tom, Macie jumped at the chance to fill in for a doubles match—and was soon celebrating winning points with high-fives and smiles all round.

For more information about junior or adult coaching, contact Tom Casey on 0413 199 702.
