Coaching
It’s been a great Term 4 - we’ve grown and expanded our reach from Term 3.
School program
We have over 50 kids that have participated in the school program across 3 schools (Castlemaine North PS, St Mary’s PS and Harcourt Valley PS) and we’re hoping that this translates to membership at the club soon. We’re offering the school program at Campbells Creek next term and are looking to expand further in 2026.
Adult program
Cardio Tennis has been a hit on Wednesday evenings with numbers consistently getting over 10. This has resulted in a few people interested in the weekday/end comps in the area. We will continue to build the adult programs and add additional classes after work.
Kids program
We’re sitting at around 90 kids for Term 4 participation which is roughly double the growth from last term. A new no limits girls’ squad is due to commence in Term 1. I have applied for funding for this to help stand up the program, but it will go ahead regardless.
Tournaments/Clinics
- The Cup Day tournament was well attended for the first time, as was the second to finish off the term.
- The Macedon trip was great. We took the train down with players from Bendigo to play against the kids from Macedon. Great for the kids to play on a different surface and meet and play against other kids. Looking to do more of this with them and other clubs in the future.
71 players attended the school holiday clinic back at the end of Term 3 was a great lead up to Term 4. Looking to put on another clinic over the school holidays.
I have loved seeing everyone’s improvement, not just the kids but all the adults that have come into the program.
