23.01.2022 Hi All, With the most recent COVID 19 update from the Federal government last night we have made the only responsible decision to suspend all tennis lessons until further notice. We want to thank you to all the tennis families and the Goondiwindi community for the warm welcome and support since starting my coaching in January. I shall be using this time to work on the business and have every intention of being here for the long haul and look forward to resuming coaching once... we are all safely on the other side of this difficult time. I shall keep you posted and welcome to our Goondiwindi Tennis Face Book site and I will be posting, "at home" tennis exercises and practice drills that can be done by the kids to help pass the time and enjoy their sport. The best of luck to you all and I hope you and yours remain safe and well. -- Cheers Neil White Goondiwindi Tennis

19.01.2022 Hi from Goondiwindi Tennis. We hope you are all keeping well. Find attached a great footwork drill you can practice at home without a tennis court. Anything handy you have as markers will do. This is an effective exercise to work on the Forehand and Backhand Cone Footwork drill I do in lessons with pupils.

12.01.2022 This is what Junior Tennis Fixtures are about for Gundy. Thanks Tammy Elmes for this great photo of Tom Elmes and Grace Moffat playing doubles together in their team this afternoon. As Tammy shared in her comments on the photo, " This means so much more to me than a win". Tammy was kind enough to also share the quote from coach Phil Jackson. "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." Watching the juniors grow in their confidence and displaying sportsmanship is fantastic to see.
