November has seen a busy schedule for some of our members, as we crank things up in preparation for some National championships looming.
It’s also been a very successful month for some. Gemma got selected by Tennis NZ for a top 8 playoff in the TNZ masters points race. With a win over her ChCh counterpart on the last day, this placed Gemma effectively 7th in the country for her overall season. Awesome to see these specialised Academy trainings paying dividends.
And this week saw Academy member Mansi Giri, get an excellent result in a very thrilling and dynamic match to take out the HB Secondary Schools title. Flying the flag for the Academy and NGHS colours, Mansi prevailed over Zoe Driscoll from Iona College.To see two 15 yr old young ladies hitting like they were was just outstanding.
Aside from the comps, Gemma and Kendra, along with coach Luke Donovan, spent the day up in Tauranga with specialist hitting coach Peter Blow. It was amazing how a few little tweaks on some strokes etc can generate so much more power and precision.
Peter is highly regarded in NZ for his knowledge and has worked coaching offshore as well. Coach Luke also gained some valuable knowledge to pass onto our other Academy members.
Congratulations to you all on your sterling and successful month team.

A huge congratulations to our Academy player, Gemma Johnson for an outstanding few days in Akld at the tennis NZ Junior Masters points race. This is the top 8 in NZ based on points earned during the seasons tournaments. Gemma finished 7th with a win on the last day over a Canterbury opponent.
Congrats Gem, your fellow team mates are so proud of you.

The second tourney of the season for some of the Academy members was at the Technifibre Wellington Junior Open.
Coach Andy Shand took along Gemma, Mansi, Kendra and Mayank, all competing in the U14 boys and girls category.
Gemma played some of her best Tennis of the year, just losing to no 2 seed Emily Dunn in a super tie break. Emily going on to win the tourney.
Mayank had some great battles with some of the top 10 ranked players in the Country, Mansi played very competitively despite working on her new swing pattern, which will see her hitting with more precision and power in the future.
Kendra taking 2 from 4 and Gemma and Kendra lost a very exciting semi final dubs match in a super tiebreak 6-4 1-6 10-7.
The next couple of weeks sees a few of our members competing in qualifying matches for the Nationals later in the year.

We’ll, it’s been a busy first month for our Academy members. The season started off with 5 of us heading over to the Whanganui tournament. This was the biggest tourney they’ve hosted with over 150 competitors from the Central and Lower North Island and some from Auckland as well.
This was the first NZ tournament for our German School exchange player, Lily PoePlau. Lily performed admirably and showed a high level of Tennis skill, as we know our European Tennis girls can do. Unfortunately she suffered a shoulder injury and had to withdraw on day 2.
Mansi won 3 from 4 matches, Gemma won 2 from 3, Mayank won 3 from 4, Kendra 1 from 3 and Gemma and Kendra just lost the doubles 1/4 final in a tiebreak.
