25.01.2022 The first ever Tennis Camp in NSW for people with blindness and low vision! Thankyou Tennis Australia for hosting this event, Tennis NSW for letting us play... on your indoor bubble courts, Steve for coaching our players and @blindsportsnsw program manager Sonja for her assistant coaching. All the players had so much fun, made new friends and even went home with a goodies bag! It was also fantastic to have Jensen's Tennis reps come out to support the event as they include blind low vision tennis into their club this week! Team work makes the dream work Look forward you our next camp in November . . . . #blvtennis #tennis #nsw #community #events #play #active #sunday #funday #social #recreation #development #camp

24.01.2022 Final Hunter training junior game !

24.01.2022 MEET A MEMBER: Back in 2015 Kendra brewer joined our NSW Goalball community in our Hunter HUB. Some might know Kendra from her awesome blue hair at every AGC's Kendra is not only a fun loving, big hearted player, she also is one of the very few sighted players that play for our state! Goalball to Kendra is an enjoyable, unique and inclusive sport, and she would love more people to join! If she isn't on the Goalball court Kendra loves music and reading as well as being a social butterfly talking and messaging friends. Pictured below is Kendra throwing a ball during play as well as a team photo back at the 2017 AGC's with (you guessed it) blue hair.
