Ōmokoroa tennis club

- By Therese Temple

Happy New Year to all. When looking at world news we are lucky to have been able to enjoy summer fully, when the rest of the world is locked down with Covid. Many of you will have family overseas who would love nothing more than to have a game of tennis, a swim and a BBQ, so I feel extremely fortunate to be able to continue living normally in this challengin­g time.

We had a wonderful Christmas BBQ with music, food and dress ups. It was a relaxed afternoon enjoyed by all who attended.

Just a heads up that we are hosting a combined tennis tournament with Te

Puna on the 13th and 14th March. Men’s and Ladies’ doubles on Saturday and mixed doubles on Sunday. More details to follow but we hope there are some keen players out there willing to give it a go. If you want to get fit for the tournament, Peter O’Dea is running a new Cardio Tennis Course starting Wednesday 10th February from 6-7pm. Visit our website for details. Junior coaching is underway again from Saturday 13th February till Saturday 3rd April. It runs from 9am to 12pm. This is great value for the kids (under 18s) at eight sessions for $81 dollars. We have a new book-a-court system on our website www.omokoroate­nnis.com to reserve a court time. Members will not be charged, and for non-members, the cost is $12 per hour off-peak and $16 during weekends and evenings. It’s only $6.00 to play casually on club days for non-members, which are held on Tuesdays from 6pm and Saturdays from 2pm.
