The HotShots Happy Box came about because the Parkes Tennis Coaching Team noticed a drop in the number of children who were using their manners, showing respect for themselves, their equipment, their peers, their coaches and the sport. After every lesson the Coaches and players now reflect on their behaviours and attitude and if positive they are rewarded with tickets which they write their name on and enter into a draw each month. Needless to say the overall behaviours across all stages has improved which is great to see but as always there is still room for further development.
Holiday fun day
Parkes Tennis is staging a fun tennis day tomorrow. This will be a mix of doubles and also some fun games. Players who are involved in Orange and Green ball, and Yellow ball or any juniors who can umpire and score their own matches are invited to come along and enjoy a day of exercise and social play.
Sign in is on the day between 9am-9.15am and there will be an Easter Egg hunt to start while the draws are being compiled. Bring a picnic lunch and the canteen will be open for refreshments, ice blocks and confectionary. Cost will be $10 per player and all funds raised will go towards the upcoming bus trip to Mudgee in July. Keep an eye on ParkesTennis Facebook page for further updates.
