However, much more is still to be achieved. We run competitions in all areas for Junior tennis players. These include interclub, tournaments and representative ties at Association and Regional levels. We also provide coaching from beginner level through to the high performer, on an individual and squad basis. We hold Tennis Camps for the regional squad members and for beginners as an introduction to tennis.
Tennis is provided in the schools, with class size projects and small group clinics.
We try to feed these children into the local clubs. We hold the franchise for PeeWee Tennis in the region and are currently trying to push this further into the clubs. This introductory programme is tailored for 5-7 year olds. We have a good working relationship with College Sport and Sport Wellington as well as clubs and senior associations. During the past twelve months we have increased participation numbers in the tournaments, coaching programmes and interclub.
