Serving up ace deal for juniors
YOUNG aspiring tennis players at a Cairns club will have their journey made easier thanks to a speedy donation.
Courier business Aramex Cairns donated a new vehicle to tennis coaching club BLITZ Tennis recently.
The nine-seater vehicle from Westco Motors was purchased by Aramex Cairns to help transport young tennis players to and from training, tournaments and events.
Aramex Cairns regional franchisee Josh Bollman said the business was proud to be supporting the BLITZ Tennis Club and local players.
“It’s so important to stay active and community sport is such a wonderful thing for kids to be involved in,” he said.
Tennis coach Guy Thomas goes above and beyond not only coaching but also transporting kids of various ages to and from training as many parents do not have the time or capacity to do so themselves.
“Without Guy’s personal time and effort, many of these kids probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to play tennis.”
Mr Thomas thanked Aramex Cairns for its support and said the vehicle would greatly assist the young players.
“BLITZ Tennis Club is so grateful for the generous support of Aramex Cairns,” he said.
“This new vehicle will help local kids attend tennis coaching and events.
“It also makes it possible for our young tennis players to attend tournaments in different locations and compete in regional competitions.
“We thank Aramex Cairns for their support which makes it possible for kids to enjoy this wonderful sport and for some an opportunity to one day fulfil their dreams of playing for Australia.”
The vehicle was handed over during a special sponsor’s event at Edmonton.
