South Africa

With the tennis calendar so full these days it has been a pity that the one day events organized by Gauteng East Tennis Association have to take a back seat to the more major events. What with tournaments locally plus with South Africa competing in a number of team events within Africa, it was delightful to see the kids enjoying some tournament play last Sunday.

Following the past weekends camp and the new training that the development children went through, it was decided that for the continuation thereof, we needed additional equipment to ensure a continuation of these new drills that were learnt.

For the first time we held a camp for the children from Vosloorus over the past weekend.

Like all things in life, nothing stays the same for ever. We have come to that situation in the development program at Vosloorus.

A new arrival of sneakers at Kep Tennis Club will allow more children to play in better conditions.

Following the initial trials held in November which doubled as the Gauteng East Closed tournament, we had players invited back to play in the second series of matches to determine the inter provincial teams at under 13, under 15 and under 19.

2021 has ended far more positively than its predecessor!

Gauteng East Tennis Association held their Closed championships which doubled as the first stage for trials for 2022 inter provincial team.

Two young girls have made another step up the ladder in the quest to become better players.
