Members of the Maccabi Victoria All Abilities community enjoyed hitting with volunteers from Maccabi Tennis Club, to learn and enhance their tennis skills during November 2024.

The first session in early November was a standout success and equally rewarding for all participants, with impressive rallies and noticeable improvements by the end of the session.

Maccabi Victoria All Abilities Program Officer Jordan Friede said that the Maccabi Tennis Club Abilities Program "was a major success with all participants having a blast".

"Each and every participant that attended our first session (with the other two being rained out) has asked when we are going to be playing tennis again. This is a testament to the Maccabi Tennis Club and the care and effort they put into facilitating this session. We look forward to playing again next year!"

Unfortunately, rain interfered with two of the planned sessions. However, we look forward to more tennis sessions in February 2025.
