Got any Q about zone coaching then please get in touch!

🌟Our 2026 zone junior coaching series is ready to book! 🌟

❗️Spots are limited due to coaching availability and max numbers set per group. So get in early! Preference may be given to players who are aiming to get selected for our zone representation opportunities.
All sessions this year will be at York Lawn Tennis Club 🎾

Things to know.....

1. Beginners is usually 6-8yr olds, Intermediate 8-10yrs and advanced 10-14yrs. This of course also depends on previous experience and ability.
2. This coaching is aimed at those children who have already SOME tennis coaching under their belt but want to start to or continue to play in tournaments around our zone.
3. If your child wants to be considered for selection to represent our zone at the 2026 D'Arcy Slater & Foundation Cups in Bunbury on Sun 25th- Wed 28th October, they must be enrolled in the ADVANCED group and attend at least the Perth Day Camp on Sun 18th Oct (separate cost and booking).
4. If you can only make one of the three sessions, please send an email to discuss alternative payment options. Preference may be given to those who are going to D'Arcy Slater/ Foundation Cup.
5. If your child has never done tennis coaching before, please look to connect with your local tennis club instead to see what junior coaching they will be offering as a club in term 4.

Any Q- please ask!

Shall I use a dampener or not, especially when I am beginning tennis?

My answer is 100% yes, for several reasons. Number one, of course, it reduces the vibrations. We know many tennis players have tendonitis because of the vibration; it can be the wrist, the elbow, or the shoulder.

The second thing is that it also increases control, which is very necessary in our sport. The third thing is the sound. When you hit the ball with a dampener, the sound is louder, and it makes you feel you are hitting the ball differently, and I think better. So I think it brings a lot of joy hitting the ball with a dampener compared to hitting the ball without a dampener.

This one is the result of thousands of hours of testing and learning, and I think one of the keys with this one is that it reduces the vibrations even more, but you also get the same feel.

Do you play with a dampener or without one, and why?

A big thanks to all our volunteers in the MTC. 🙏

If you organised junior coaching, ran coaching, gave up your time to be on committee, ran events, applied for grants, ran the social media or looked after the equipment & premises- this week of giving thanks is for you! 🫵

Want to volunteer and not sure how? Our AGM will be in July and we are looking for people to join the committee 👋

🌟Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.🌟
