What an incredible end to a fabulous season of Whānau Fridays! 🎾
It has been so much fun to see everybody make such awesome progress, shine on the court, make new friends, make us laugh and make us proud, wolf down the sausages every week and make your parents and grandparents run around picking up balls!
Watching you improve every week and give everything your best shot, smashing the balls, mastering the ball machine, keeping the coaches busy and on their toes and just generally having a good time is what makes Whānau Fridays so special.
Parents, grandparents and helpers - you have been amazing. From jumping on the BBQ (Dan you've been an absolute champion), coordinating timings for us, encouraging (and sometimes wrangling) the juniors, collecting balls, running the ball machine (Ross is a pro now!), buttering bread and supporting the coaches... from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! Without you, this format would not work. Whānau Fridays is something special because you are right there with us!
Greg - coach extraordinaire! The passion and dedication to our juniors is something remarkable. Time for a well earned rest!!!! We are so lucky to have you.
Gabe, Easton, Nadia and Jesse - our new junior coaches. Thank you for your willingness to achieve the qualification, jump on court and give it a go. You have all grown in your coaching abilities this season and it's been awesome to have your support. We'd love to have you back again next season.
I tried to grab as many pics as possible. Hopefully I've got everyone covered!
Enjoy a well earned Easter break and hopefully we'll see you back next season!
