🎾 Wednesday Drills — What a night!🌟🌙

Five players stepped out into a gorgeous autumn evening and it was perfect tennis weather. 🍂✨

Coach Shane had us working hard on consistency, handling pressure, and moving in to volley — real game-changing stuff. We laughed, we hustled, and yes… we all got very sweaty. 😅🔥

Not gonna lie — if you weren't there, you missed a great one. 😉

Consistent practice is the key to real improvement — and with the new season coming, now is the time to get on court and get ready!
Every player who shows up helps keep this club alive and thriving. 🙌

🕕 6pm — Social hit
🎯 6:30pm — Coached drills with Shane
💛 Free for all club members

Don't miss out twice. See you Wednesday! 👊🎾

🎾 Yay! Wednesday Drills is BACK!

Yes, the evenings are getting cooler — but your backhand won't improve from under a blanket! 😄
Starting Wednesday next week, Coach Shane is bringing structured, fun drills to help you genuinely improve your game while enjoying a great social night out. Come for the tennis, stay for the good vibes! 🔥

🗓️ Every Wednesday from next week
🕕 Social Night from 6PM
🎯 Drills from 6:30PM
