Another Foundation Cup post 🚨

I was incredibly proud to have 18 of my own current private students participate in Foundation Cup over the past week. That’s not to mention the many who I’ve coached over the journey who also played.

Not only to play but compete and thrive at the level made me so proud. Many of these kids have achieved things they never thought possible and they haven’t scraped the surface of their potential yet 😈

Also to have Sam Oster, who I coached previously, go back to Foundation Cup in a coaching capacity was a full circle moment for me.

Absent from the pic: James Nicholls, Millie Mulders, Madison Wall and Annalise Crawford.

‼️So excited to bring Ready2Rally to the Clare Valley.

🥳 A program just for teenage girls, it’s designed to create social connection, connection with tennis regardless of experience and fun with your friends. Do as much as or as little as you’d like.

🎵 Think music, food and plenty of chat.

🤝 Perfect for girls who have never played before, used to play, or play and want to have fun in a very relaxed environment.

💲 $30 for the term as this is majority funded by Tennis Australia.

🎄 We will also be finishing the program off with a Friendsmas event for the last session before Christmas.

⏰ Note the slight time change since EOI

**Clare Tournament Announcement**

In conjunction with Tennis SA, I have made the difficult decision to postpone the tournament until Sunday March 22nd. This decision was made as the forecast for Sunday in Clare is for 15 - 30mm of rain with rain forecast also Saturday night and Monday, indicating it may be an all day rain event. Given there are a lot of players travelling, I wanted to make an early call to ensure travel amendments can be made.

I have adjusted the withdrawal date on the tournament website to 15th of March so that if you are unable to make the new tournament date, you will be refunded your tournament fee.
