That means all individual lessons are back at their regular timeslots, Cardio tennis is on from 7.30pm at McLaren Vale tennis club (please get in touch to confirm your spot!), Squad training is on (Thursday evenings) and Hot shots will be on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. It's going to be a busy and exciting term!

For those interested in knowing exactly where the money goes or if you're interested in sponsoring a child then have a look at their website or send us a message: https://www.sonriseministriesinc.org/babieshome... Thank you to everyone who came along and made this our most successful year to date!

22.01.2022 The powers that be have deemed individual coaching and cardio tennis to be safe to resume. I'm afraid that means Hot Shots is cancelled this weekend again. I will be sending emails out to confirm this. See you all next week hopefully

18.01.2022 Unfortunately, it seems we are still not being permitted to coach tennis in South Australia under the latest directive. All coaching is cancelled tomorrow but fingers crossed some logic can be applied to the decision making process and we can be allowed back on court next week!

16.01.2022 Sonrise Clinics Day 3. Such was the big turnout for our red ball session, we had to use our photographer as another assistant coach. Fortunately, we were able to cope well enough with the other groups that Helen was able to take some top photos of them in action; including a cracker of our two legendary assistants, Jack and Oscar, who have given up their holiday time (and lie ins!) to volunteer for such a great cause.

16.01.2022 For those interested in playing tennis in a dynamic group environment this summer, please do get in touch! Saturdays are at Willunga, Sundays at McLaren Vale.

10.01.2022 Regarding tonight's squads. The plan is to move them under cover to Tatachilla but that depends on whether I'm feeling up to it. I will send an email out around midday to let you all know either way. I'm desperate to get back on court if the body will allow!!

07.01.2022 Great to have all 8 courts back in use today for our orange ball comp (thanks to Grahame Giles and Helen Fonfe for organizing the net replacements). It's terrific to see how much the standard has improved in only a few weeks. The tournament director learned his lesson from last week and made sure to arrange more suitable weather this time around!!

07.01.2022 Was great to get all the dads (and dad substitutes) to join their child out on court to celebrate Fathers dad with a fiercely competitive game of Champions and Challengers.

06.01.2022 Further to the earlier post about squads, I'm gutted (literally!) to say that I'm still unable to get on court tonight so squads cancelled tonight. See you all back at McLaren Vale Tennis Club on Thursday October 15th

06.01.2022 The countdown to cardio tennis is on, numbers are limited and spots are being booked. If youre keen to get involved please can I ask you to get in touch to book your spot as I only have limited numbers....were at Tatachilla from 7.30-8.30pm on Mondays starting from tomorrow. Be quick!

05.01.2022 So proud of these three legends who finished their first season in the SDTA premier division tonight. The boys knew they would be up against it even before their two teammates succumbed to injury very early on in the season. Despite some tough losses, they always competed hard and have improved hugely as a result. Well played, Sam, Jack and Oscar. I'm looking forward to seeing you all have a proper crack at the comp next summer!

05.01.2022 Congratulations to Jayden, Amber and Maxim as Mclaren Vale Tennis Club players of the week for the last couple of weeks. Good luck to everyone playing their last round of matches this week. Enjoy!
