‘Love tennis’ and more

Its warming up and hotting up for tennis! The big event coming is ‘Love tennis’, an open weekend for the public, on the 10th and 11th October from 1pm till 4pm each day. Grab your racquet, (or one of ours), grab the kids, bring a friend and come on down for some fun at Ōmokoroa tennis club, 28 Western Avenue. There is a major prize up for grabs.

A prize winner will be drawn from each of the six tennis regions and can be entered by scanning the tennis QR code. The winner will be flown to Queenstown, stay at the Distinction Luxmore Hotel, Te Anau, get courtside hospitality including food and beverages at one of New Zealand's premier tennis events, plus a scenic helicopter flight. Over the weekend there will be other prizes and giveaways, a ball machine to try your luck with, tennis coaching, games and a rolling BBQ to keep the hunger pangs at bay.

In recent events, on the 29th August Te Puna challenged Ōmokoroa Tennis Club to a tournament. It was a great friendly event with Te Puna just nudging us out in the last five minutes of play. We look forward to another challenge in the future. Thanks to Ian Duncalf, Te

Puna and Andrew Dallas, Ōmokoroa, for organising and to the players and providers of delicious food enjoyed by all.

The new pavilion is now open, and we have interclub, tennis fitness, business house tennis and kids coaching. Check out our website, omokoroatennis.com, for all our club's activities and come along to our club days. Tuesday night from 6pm – 8pm and Saturday is 2 to 5pm.

A big thank you to our latest sponsors, Pacific Coast Kitchens and GJ Gardner. It’s fantastic when local businesses support their community.
