Tennis Open Day a Big Hit!

The Ingham Tennis Association’s Tennis Open Day held on Monday the 13th of January, was a great success, with over 30 kids of all ages participating. The event saw a fantastic mix of boys and girls enjoying the sport, along with a great turnout for free court hire as local residents took advantage of the holiday offer.
Tom Casey, the club’s coach, led the sessions, starting with the younger participants (under 7 years) on the mini courts, before moving to the open courts with the older kids. The day was packed with fun games and drills designed to improve fitness and coordination. Tom was joined by a team of enthusiastic helpers who made the event a hit, finishing off with cold drinks and sausages generously provided by the Ingham Tennis Association.
In addition, the Ingham Tennis Association will be running Junior Social Fixtures starting on Tuesday, the 4th of February, at 3:30pm. This is a fantastic opportunity for kids to continue developing their skills in a friendly, supportive environment. For more details, contact Richard at 0428 152 125.
Tom also offers coaching lessons for individuals or groups on Saturday mornings and Thursday afternoons. For coaching details, call Tom at 0413 199 702.
Pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports, has also kicked off for the year with Monday night sessions at 6:30pm - everyone is welcome! For more details, contact Gordon at 0409 092 058.
Tennis fixtures are also starting soon on Tuesday and Thursday nights, with mixed teams. For more information or to book your spot, contact Steve at 0488 763 270. Ladies’ tennis is held on Wednesday mornings, with Belinda handling enquiries at 0417 782 227.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting year for tennis and pickleball in Ingham, so get involved and enjoy the fun!
