It’s been another busy term at the club over the Easter school break. Beaconsfield Tennis Club ran a very successful junior tournament, with spectators enjoying outstanding tennis by the 31 competitors. A grade was won by BTC local, Luke Sankey, who defeated fellow BTC club member Noah Dorling in the final. We also got to say a last goodbye and thank you to our previous coach, Paul (Rowy) Rowbottom, who paid a visit during the tournament.
Term 2 coaching programs started on April 26th with professional tennis lessons held 7 days a week. New adult group coaching programs are now also offered on a Friday morning. Weekend competition also started on April 30th & May 1st with 12 junior teams entered in the BDTA & WDTA and senior teams entered in the WDTA. Good luck to everyone in a successful and enjoyable season.
Tennis 4 Teens
Tennis 4 Teens is a non-competitive, stress-free, fun, social program that offers participants activities both on and off court. Tennis 4 Teens is a program designed by teens, for teens and has the following values at its core
- Youth have a “say” in the activities conducted in a session
