The AO Blitz will appear at the Littlehampton Tennis Club on Friday 8 November as the largest participation drive in Australian tennis history continues in South Australia.
The AO Blitz is a national competition that allows people who play tennis – and those who have never picked up a racquet – the chance to win major prizes and have an Australian Open 2014 player represent their local town.
The AO Blitz is comprised of two parts – free community tennis days and an online interactive competition at www.aoblitz.com.au.
In the lead-up to Australian Open 2014 the AO Blitz will be visiting communities in every state and territory of the country, encouraging Australians of all ages and tennis abilities to pick up a racquet and have a hit.
On Friday the AO Blitz will visit Littlehampton Tennis Club, Anembo Park, Littlehampton SA 5250 from 3.30pm – 7.30pm.
Locals will have the chance to participate in a range of free activities including:
- Photo opportunities with the Australian Open trophies – the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup (men’s singles trophy) and Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup (women’s singles trophy)
- MLC Tennis Hot Shots – modified tennis designed especially for children
- Cardio Tennis – new tennis fitness workout
- Speed Serve, jumping castle, face painters
- Plus fun giveaways to take home
