Barwon Region youngsters team up

FORTY keen junior players met up at Grovedale Tennis Club on Sunday February 18 for what was the first of 10 consecutive Sundays of honing tennis skills – and a whole lot more!

This is the 2018 Barwon Region Squad, comprising players from the ages of 8-15.

It’s an intensive program of three hours duration whereby the players are taught the finer points of the game by coaches Cameron Govan, Olivia Rich, Jason Schoenmaekers, Jeremy Palmer-Morgan, Matt Hicks and Zach Mooseek (fitness coach).

Juniors move from coach to coach, focusing on the many different facets of the game, from the serve to the strategy – and work hard on fitness too!

At the end of the program, some of the players will compete in the Associated Junior League, a 10-week aged-based competition, representing the Barwon Region, involving all of the Melbourne associations.

Unearthing and nurturing future tennis stars!
