Tennis comps start Tuesday and Saturday

BARRABA TOWN AND DISTRICT TENNIS CLUB – 2024

Be part of the action!

You would have noticed that during 2023 the five worn out old green tennis courts at the Tennis Club in Queen St were replaced.   The new blue courts are a great asset – now is the time to get more players to enjoy a game on the new surface.

Tennis got off to a great start in January on the new courts. A three-day junior tennis camp run by a professional coach attracted more than twenty local youngsters – both Primary and High School – who had a great time.  Professional coaching will continue after school on a Tuesday. If you are not so young, and would like to polish up your tennis skills, private lessons are available.

The summer tennis competitions are about to start, so now is the time register to play.  Tuesday evening “Night Lights” team competition starts on Tuesday 13 February at 6.30 pm, and goes through to Easter. All ages, all skills are welcome. Call/text Amie 0409 879 093 to put your name down.

Also, this year we are trialling a new competition for those players who would like a little more of a challenge. You choose a partner, enter as a two-person team, nominate your grade (A, B, or C), and see if you can win the competition over the short season. Full details are in the advertisement in the next column. This comp will be held monthly on Saturday evening – 10 February, 9 March, and 13 April. Sounds like a great challenge, but hurry, the it starts this Saturday and we need more players.  Send a message immediately to the Barraba Tennis Club Facebook page, or phone/text Amie 0409 879 093 or Heath 0427 070 374.

If you played tennis once, or were thinking of taking tennis up (perhaps you were inspired watching the Australian Open), now the time to start - on the new courts. One of our current members hadn’t played for more than fifty years; he took it up again a few years ago, and is enjoying himself immensely.

Speak to Amie or Heath and you could be on the court next week.
