Tennis triumph
Mini Tennis Festival @ Lynnsport
11/07/24
This was the final SSP Event of the year and due to some schools dropping out we were asked if we would like to take another team of 4 players which we duly did, despite the short notice. So 4 boys and 4 girls took part in this fun festival, to understand a little bit more about the game. All of the children were constantly playing round robin games which also involved playing against each other. They learnt the rules, scoring and were given tips on how to serve etc. Once the first rounds were complete they went on to play doubles an almost full size court the only difference was where the base line was. They particularly enjoyed this and everyone was improving with every game. Finally Mrs Bowers put all their names in a hat and they were drawn out and a mini Wimbledon took place to reach an eventual final. As there were games constantly going on nobody really knew who was playing for which position until it was announced that Lenny and Lacey were playing for theĀ 1st/2nd positions, Lenny went on to win. However the whole afternoon, despite the initial drizzle was a lot of fun and it was a good opportunity and insight into the game of tennis.
