Open Court
Wesley Tennis Club hosting "Open Court" sessions currently being promoted by Tennis Australia.
For $5 per person per session, Open Court participants get 90 minutes of fun social activity, rotating through three modified games: Triples, Hot Shots and a Foam-ball game. The emphasis in each game is to have fun, with very relaxed rules. There is an On-Court host to explain the games, organise the rotations and make sure everyone is having fun. There is also an Off-Court host to welcome people as they arrive, and to organise the food and drinks. The format is roughly:
- 10 minutes of fun 'warm-up' exercises (not strenuous),
- 50 minutes of rotations through the various games, and
- 30 minutes of socialising over food and drinks.
Wesley is hosting these sessions from 5:30-7:00 pm on Wednesday evenings.
The program will run until mid-March, but there is no need to commit to the entire program. You can simply book sessions at your convenience at OpenCourtSessions or simply turn up on the day. All equipment will be provided, so you will just need some suitable casual clothing, and footwear.
A big advantage we have at Wesley is the availability of the big gym beside the courts, which we can use if conditions outside are unsuitable (eg. too hot/cold/wet/smoky), so you don't have to second-guess whether it will be going ahead - just turn up.
