2019 Tennis Festival - Saturday 2nd February
|
On Saturday February 2 the Queanbeyan Park Tennis Club and the Parkside Tennis Academy will host TENNIS FESTIVAL as part of the 2019 “Summer of Tennis”. Tennis Festival combines the fun and excitement of an outdoor festival with a showcase of the tennis services and facilities available in the Queanbeyan Region.
TENNIS FESTIVAL will feature free coaching clinics for adults and juniors of all ages, competitive tennis games, free tennis play as well as the opportunity to try out Cardio Tennis – a popular adult program for people who are looking to get fit. There will also be lots of family friendly activities such as jumping castles, face painting, tennis related “sideshow alley” games, music, and a speed serving competition. A BBQ and raffle will also be available to support the local charity “Home in Queanbeyan” who provide a supportive, loving home for 19 people with chronic mental illness. The event attracted over 500 people in 2018 and with the resurgence of Tennis in Queanbeyan the 2019 Festival is expected to be even bigger. Parkside Tennis Academy coach Ben Trudinger and Queanbeyan Park Tennis Club president, Kathy Sly, are very excited to show the local and wider tennis community what the club has to offer and encourage everyone to come down to the club and get involved in the festival. |
