24.01.2022 The coaching staff at OTC would like to wish you and your family a very happy & safe Easter. While this year’s Easter break may not be filled with camping, tenn...is tournaments, road trips or even family functions it’s important that we all stay home and share the day with our immediate family. The Easter Bunny is thankfully immune to this horrible virus so Easter eggs are plentiful... be grateful for the small things. Be thankful that we are all in this together, you are not alone, and we will get through this with our fun, sociable, tennis lifestyle resuming at some stage. Our coaching programs are still on hold but we are ready to go as soon as we are permitted back on the courts... in the meantime please stay fit, healthy and try and keep up some tennis skills at home. Take care, stay safe and we will see you soon! #tenniswillsurvive

23.01.2022 Trying to make light of a very disappointing announcement today... My Mother taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at a...ll and my Father taught me that if you are angry or frustrated then it’s best not to put anything in writing. Therefore I won’t be making an official post today but I have sent an important email update to all clients this afternoon. #threemoreweeks #staystrong #tenniswillsurvive

21.01.2022 Tennis update... As restrictions are gradually eased over the next month it is hoped I will be able to provide private and semi-private tennis lessons at Garfield Tennis Club starting Wednesday September the 30th. Confirmation from Tennis Victoria and Cardinia Shire is required before the courts can be reopened. Our famous junior group lessons will resume at some stage in term 4 once permitted by the State Government. A start date is dependant upon COVID-19 case numbers (14 d...ay average) so at this early stage a start date for the Wednesday group lesson program cannot be confirmed. I’m also hoping to be able to start an Adult Cardio Tennis program later in the year. Stay safe everyone and please look out for further updates via FB and email. Ossie

16.01.2022 Well that’s a wrap!!! After a sensational 9 weeks of coaching since restrictions were lifted we can finally declare term 4 done and dusted. #whataride I’d l...ike to pay FB tribute to a number of important groups who have helped make term 4 one of the best ever... Thanks to the Pakenham TC Executive who worked tirelessly in order for the courts to be reopened as quickly as possible after lockdown. #Respect Thanks to my coaching staff who have been nothing short of brilliant this term working well as a team and striving to improve the skills of both our pupils and their own coaching skills. #teamwork Thanks to my family (Emma Osborne)who had to put up with me during 17 weeks of lockdown earlier in the year and then a further 9 weeks of long hours and late nights. Not the best work/life balance. #loveyou Thanks to Head Tennis and Danny Cherry for your continued support of my business and for providing us with the best racquets and equipment in the world. #gravity Thanks for all the fantastic gifts and cards my staff and I received over the last couple of weeks... apparently chocolate and alcohol do go together. #GreatlyAppreciated Thanks to the Warragul Nth TC who allowed me to coach in regional Victoria during term 3&4... those 7 hours a week certainly kept me sane. #warragultennis Thanks to all the kids, parents and club volunteers who attended today’s junior tournament... it was a sensational way to finish the year just being able to watch the kids compete again. #finishonahigh But the biggest THANKS goes to all our wonderful pupils and their families who continue to support our programs at Pakenham, Garfield and Warragul Nth. #legends As we put 2020 to bed and look forward to 2021 with renewed enthusiasm and energy I’d like to wish everyone out there in the tennis community a sensational Christmas and New Year. #merrychristmas PS I’m taking the next 4 days off to reintroduce myself to my family. #notennisracquet #noemails #familytime #fourdays

07.01.2022 Just a request for parents/players to park next to the hall or in the bowls club car park when attending the tennis courts. DO NOT park or drive in the grass area adjacent to the courts as it is too wet. Thanks for your understanding

07.01.2022 With restrictions likely to be eased on Sunday we are hopeful of a return to the tennis courts for our various Summer tennis programs as early as next Wednesday October the 21st. At this stage it’s unsure whether all programs can take place as it will depend on numbers permitted on each court but I’m hoping to run the following programs each Wednesday... Private lessons... Semi-private lessons Hotshots lessons (small groups with modified equipment) Junior group lessons Cardio Tennis (during school hours) The numbers today look promising so fingers are cross for some positive announcements by the state government this Sunday I shall post another update on Sunday afternoon and email all 2019-20 families with further information once confirmed. #tenniswillsurvive
