THE Healesville Tennis Club will host free coaching sessions over the coming months for residents with a disability, indigenous and multicultural residents as part of the ACE Tennis Program.
Kathy Cameron, ACE welcoming officer and vice-president of the Healesville Tennis Club, says the club was recently accepted into the program and received funding for the sessions. All ages and abilities are welcome to receive coaching from a volunteer tennis instructor.
“The ACE program promotes best practice for tennis all over Australia and it’s important that everyone has the opportunity to be involved.
“The Healesville Tennis Club is a strong community group and we want to involve as many people from the area as possible.”
Kathy says that the sessions will provide the chance for residents to experience something new in a supportive environment.
“Fun, novelty and encouragement guaranteed. We want everyone to have a good time.”
Tennis for indigenous and multicultural residents will be held on Sunday 28 September and Sunday 7 December and Tennis for all Abilities will be held on Saturday 27 September and Saturday 15 November. All sessions will run from 1-3pm at Healesville Tennis Courts. All are welcome and no bookings are required.
