Junior Club Days start again on Sunday October 12th - here is all you need to know!
CLUB DAY STRUCTURE
Club Days are a chance to have fun and learn tennis with friends - our coaches are experienced in structuring games and activities which are fun and develop tennis skills towards playing real matches. Maungaraki Tennis Club would like to thank Pelorus Trust and NZ Community Trust for supporting us in providing qualified coaches for the sessions.
* NO CANCELLATIONS!
If the weather is not suitable for coaching on court we have the Scout Hall available for indoor activity options such as hand eye co-ordination, reaction drills, foam ball hitting / mini rallies, footwork, scoring games (dice tennis), swing lines, video feedback, strategies and point construction, table tennis (tennis style).
Therefore we will not cancel any Sunday Club Days - and it is not necessary to post in the Junior WhatsApp channel if you are unable to make a session.
EQUIPMENT
We have racquets of all sizes available for our Juniors to use during Club Days. If you decide to get rackets for your juniors it is worth talking to our coaches for advice in the correct size and weight to prevent injury.
