Now that the hottest tennis stars in the world have been and gone, and the kids have gone back to school, it’s time for mums to shine on the tennis court through Tennis Victoria’s Mums’ Program.
Running from 20 February – 23 March, and just $35 for five weeks of group coaching, the program allows mums to take some time out for themselves, is open to players of all standards and provides many benefits for those participating, including:
- Improving health, having fun and getting fit
- Exercising without having to find childcare
- Receiving expert tennis coaching from a Tennis Australia qualified coach
- Free use of equipment
- A great taste of tennis and getting involved with their local tennis club for a minimal cost
“The program was fun and social, helped us all increase our skills and meet members of the community which was a bonus,” said Susan Burley, a past program participant from Selby.
Also available, if childcare is a problem, is the Tiny Tots Program.
“We understand that finding childcare can be difficult for mums, so we also offer a Tiny Tots Program for children aged 3-5 at a cost of just $15 for the same five weeks,” said James Madder, Tennis Victoria’s Community Tennis Officer who manages the program.
“The Tiny Tots Program helps children develop their fundamental motor skills such as hand-eye coordination, balance, depth perception and reflexes.”
The Mums’ Program is available to new participants only and mums must be participating in the Mums’ Program for their child to participate in the Tiny Tots Program.
