The club professional is Judy Chaloner, who organises all the sessions. Judy provides professional coaching each session, in small groups, and this is included in your child’s membership subscription. Any further coaching required, either individual or groups, can be booked directly with Judy.
During the summer season there are Friday night social sessions for juniors from 4.15 pm – 5.45 pm (sessions according to age). Also, during the summer season, there is a weekly Teenage Tennis & Pizza Evening on a Friday Night 6.30 pm - 8.30 pm. (Players bring $6.00 for pizza).
Juniors have priority court use for their session times, and from 3.00-5.00 pm each weekday. They are welcome to use the courts at any other time provided they are not required by the senior members. Juniors must however vacate the courts when the last senior member leaves as the complex must be locked & alarm set by an adult. Junior membership does not include use of lights.
All junior members must wear non marking tennis shoes. School shoes/sandals/jandals are not permitted.
The club enters both the pre and post Christmas interclub competitions provided by Auckland Tennis. Each team is given partially subsidised coaching during the interclub season – each interclub player contributes $80.00 per term.
We trust this information will be of assistance to you in deciding if your junior(s) would benefit from joining the Campbell Park Tennis Club. If you require any further information, please phone the club on 520-2191. |
