                                 better you will get, so getting out on court in between your regular
                                 coaching sessions will mean you develop your skills and become a
                                 stronger tennis player.

                                 All the best!

JUNE 2020 - Mid Canterbury ...
FROM THE COACH
Wow, how quick has term 2 gone!

Firstly, thanks a lot to all the players and parents for another awesome term of TranzAlpineHoney
Ace squads. All of you have done a fantastic job at training and have been open minded and willing
to learn new things over the winter period. All of your work and for some of you some major
changes to your game have made a big difference in that way you are playing, you should all be
very proud of your efforts.

What a strange term it was. The COVID-19 pandemic hit everyone hard and did not help us with
our organisation of tennis. I want to praise all of you for how dedicated you have been since
coming back to Ace squads and the effort you have all put in over the break. A big thanks also
needs to go to the Ace Committee. Their support of myself and the players to help us get back on
the court quickly after the lockdown was something to admire. We were the first regional
performance programme in the country to get back up and running.

Over the past few terms I and the Ace committee have worked hard to give you all the best
possible chance to succeed in the sport of tennis. Our numbers of participation have been growing
and we have added in a new strength and conditioning programme for players in the higher
performance groups. We are again, one of the only regional programme in the country to be
offering this over the winter period.
Right from our Aspiring Aces group to our Federer group we have had some great results over the
last couple of terms. The reason I love coaching is seeing you all succeed after all the extra work
you all put in, it is great to watch.

Update emails have now been sent out in terms of how many weeks players have at each squad
level. You will be updated once you have completed your final session for the term.
Again, thanks to all the players and especially the parents, our development programme would not
be able to run without your support.
If you are looking at having some extra tennis over the holiday break feel free to join the Holiday
Programme. Information is on the Mid Canterbury Tennis Facebook page and a reminder email will
be sent out.

I look forward to seeing all of you next term for some more hard work and fun on the tennis
courts.
Have a great holidays!
