Applications are open for the 2023 Ian Henderson Encouragement Scholarship

Applications are open for the 2023 Ian Henderson Encouragement Scholarship, at South Camberwell Tennis Club (SCTC).

The scholarship allows for one young junior player (preferably aged 8-14) to receive free family membership to South Camberwell Tennis Club for one year, along with lessons with a SCTC Club coach at the Club courts, equipment and other items e.g. shoes and clothing, as appropriate, up to a total value of $792. 

The scholarship was created by the family of Ian Henderson, a life member of the club, in 2021 with the purpose of supporting one young junior player each year to further their interest in tennis.  The applicant should have had an introduction to tennis (for example is able to serve and return the ball) and will have shown keen interest to further their skills in a supportive, non-competitive environment.  As a contrast, this is not a high performance coaching program.

Interested applicants should apply by email by 30 November 2022 to the Secretary, South Camberwell Tennis Club, at [email protected] providing some details about the applicant (e.g. name, age, gender, school and year level, etc.), summarising their tennis journey to date and explaining why they think they would be a worthy recipient. 

Any questions can be directed to Roger (0411163605) or Edward (0408374599).
