🎾 Academy friendly in Hartenbos!

We took on Zegrity Tennis from Hartenbos over the weekend, and what a great day it was!

We left early, started early, and our kids gave it their absolute all. They played some awesome tennis and came away winning most of their matches. 🙌

It was great to see the kids competing, supporting each other and enjoying themselves on court.

A big thank you to Zegrity Tennis for hosting us and giving our players some great competition.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Plett in 2027! 🎾❤️

🎾 RISING STARS | GEORGE 🎾

What a weekend for our Under 13 teams at Rising Stars in George!

Our players battled hard, showed great fight and represented their schools so well. 💪

🏆 Boys
🥈 Plett Primary — 6th place
🎾 Greenwood Bay College — 7th place

Both boys’ teams are still young, so getting this experience against strong opposition is so valuable for their development.

🌟 Girls
🥈 Plett Primary — Runners-Up

The girls battled all the way to the final, narrowly missing out on the title. What an effort! 👏

Proud of all our players. The future is looking good! 🎾🔥
