20.01.2022 With thanks to a Queensland Government Sport and Recreation grant, our club recently hosted a tennis coaching session for adults. ‘Coaching With Mick’ was an engaging and full morning for all participants, that included both theory and practical aspects. Participants were both men and women, all of whom were keen to learn more about the game. Our participating members now have plenty to work on with their ‘split step’, ‘leaving their head behind’ and other great tips for their forehands, backhands, and volleys. Thanks Mick for your efforts and a big thanks to the Queensland Government who funded such an opportunity.
