25.01.2022 The Port Fairy Tennis Club was fortunate to recently receive a Sporting Club Grant from Sport and Recreation Victoria. The grant went towards the purchase of tennis balls for use at our Fast 4 social doubles competition on Wednesday nights. Importantly, this support from the Victorian Government helps to keep our costs down and to encourage more people to enjoy the sport of tennis. It was fantastic to see a full house at our first session for 2021, including some who have returned to tennis for the first time in a few years. Hope to see you all there again next week!

25.01.2022 So yesterday we finally had the concrete bases poured for our lighting towers. Thanks to Coast to Country Building Approvals , David Schwann and Darren McDonald for the fencing and digging works and MCP for pumping the concrete. A massive thankyou for Sean, Nigel and Damon from our committee and the Moyne Shire Council for tying it all together and getting the job done. Without the financial support from the Moyne Shire Community assitance grant, the Gwen and Edna Jones & Uebergang and Archie and Hilda Graham Foundation and the Port Fairy Folk festival committee this part of our redevelopment project would have not happened this year. A final thanks to our new sponsors Allen Plumbing and Coast to Country Building Approvals . Their new signs are displayed on centre court

All classes are to be BOOKED ONLINE using the link below and this year we have a new system which is much easier to manage as this enables swift payment and refunds and tracking of lessons. Additionally it allows Josh to trade under the club and not have to pay an itinerant traders fee to work here in Port Fairy.... Josh will let classes know their times once he has the groups planned. We are asking you to enrol in the age group and ball color that is relevant to your child/ children. If you have a tennis profile already you will just have to sign in to start.

The junior program is as follows: MONDAY - Coaching and junior cardio tennis. SATURDAY - Ministars for 3-5 yo -Community Play for 5-7 year olds that have not had coaching previously. -Coaching 7+ We are also hoping to run a Tennis for Teens program, so if you have interested teens please let us know.
