<\/p>\nMEMBERS of Buninyong Tennis Club are inviting the community onto their courts to give the sport a try as part of their Fast 4 Tennis initiative.<\/p>\n
With the first session taking place this evening, the five-week program will see games of social tennis for a small fee.<\/p>\n
Club president Rohan Worland said the initiative is about broadening the appeal of tennis for the community.<\/p>\n
“It’s to promote tennis in the local community and an opportunity for them to come down and give it a go whether that’s junior, senior, or in between,” he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It’s a social competition to encourage playing not just for the wins. The fast four format is where you play to the first four games and there’s no advantages.<\/p>\n
“It’s a quicker format introduced around the world a few years ago to make tennis a bit more accessible.”<\/p>\n
Mr Worland said the Fast 4 Tennis program is building on a previous initiative from earlier this year.<\/p>\n
“We started this first around February, March during our junior season to try and build that community spirit and get parents and grandparents involved,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It was really successful and we want to continue that enthusiasm. We’re hoping to broaden it with other clubs and even players who aren’t club members will join.”<\/p>\n
