Saturday Morning Junior Comp Sponsored by Bakers Delight and Mr G’s Deli:  We hope all juniors are enjoying their holidays and staying safe.  

Remember if you are looking for things to do during the break you can grab a friend, a parent or just yourself and get up to the courts. 

If you don’t have anyone to hit with, you can always hit against the wall on courts 6 and 7. The wall is a fantastic learning tool.

Keep a look out in the paper on the second week of the holidays to see the draw for July 18.

On July 11, 12 and 13 there will be an Australian Ranking Bronze Level Junior Tournament held at our courts. 

Anyone can come up and have a look at some of the top ranked junior players in the State playing. There will be a full canteen running, so you will be able to grab a feed whilst you are watching.

Remember to come and see me or give me a call if you want to enter our Medibank Junior Development Series Tournament on the 26th July for info ph: 0417437006. 

Also a reminder that Wimbledon will be running on Prime during the holidays, so if you ask nicely I’m sure mum or dad will let you stay up and watch all the top players play in the greatest tournament in the world.

Saying of the week:  Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
