Junior league starts 11th October. We have entered 2 under 14 and 2 under 18 teams.
3 Day Tennis Challenge Clinic - 30 June to 2 July 2008
43 entries were received for the clinic which had prizes sponsored by Sportsmans Warehouse Parklands and Prince Tennis.
Players were divided into 4 groups from 5 years old to 15 years old.
Days 1 and 2 consisted of warm ups, fun games and drills. Day 3 was the competition, tournament and prize giving. All through the 3 days players had sweets, bunnylicks and Powerade provided. The clinic was run by coaches Christine Rossouw and Felipe Aliaga-Rosson, assisted by David and Amber.
Prizes on the last day sponsored by Prince Tennis and Sportsmans Warehouse were as follows:
Lucky Draw
A Prince tennis bag
Prince socks
Prince grips
Posters
Sportsmans Warehouse vouchers
Prince peaks/hats
All participants received a gift from Prince. 1st place in the tournament on the last day received a medal.
The weather was good to the players and coaches. For the amount of players there and the difference in sexes and ages, the clinic went tremendously well. It shows we can all get along, have such fun and at the same time learn something about tennis.
Some pictures from the Clinic/Tournament can be accessed from the Gallery page.
Tom Varley has been selected as goalie for the Western Province U18 hockey side. The tour to Pietermaritzburg for the Inter-Provincial Tournament is from 6th - 12th July 2008. He now has a 1 in 12 opportunity to gain his Springbok colours - which needless to say is the next target !
Congratulations to Dion Roos, Keri-Ann Roos and Anwar Ally on being chosen for the Western Province Junior squad to play in the Interprovincial tournament in Bloemfontein.
Your club is very proud of you !
