Ōmokoroa Community Tennis Club

- By Therese Temple

Is it hot enough for you? It’s quite challengin­g playing tennis in 29 to 31 degrees! Good on those who have turned up for club tennis. There has been good attendance at our club days generally.

Put the 12th/13th March in your diary, grab a partner for men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles and enter our second senior tournament with Ōmokoroa and Te Puna clubs. Last year this was a great success and we had entries from all around the Bay of Plenty. There will be prizes, food and of course competitiv­e play.

Cardio Tennis is still very popular and the sessions fill up quickly. Peter O’Dea runs a fun one-hour session with music and great drills. The cardio sessions will be ongoing as long as there is interest and to date, it shows no sign of waning. Members and non-members can join these sessions. Check out our website.

Junior Coaching starts up again soon and operates each year in terms 1 and 4. This is great for the kids and each year Peter holds a tennis clinic at the schools in the last week of term 3, (end of September) to gauge interest in junior coaching.

Every year we need help from parents whose children attend these sessions, so if you can help, drop an email to omokoroact­c@gmail.com

Every 3rd Thursday night of the month. Jeff Warren is running a fun mixed doubles evening with $25 vouchers from ‘The Local’ up for grabs. Text Jeff if you are interested in playing on 021 1099 668.

Our Club Days are held on Tuesdays 6pm and Saturdays 2pm.

Please keep checking our website to keep up to date with upcoming events. Use our ‘book a court’ system to play anytime.
