NEW CLUB - IQ Tennis is now at Glenhuntly!
We are excited about the new arrangement between IQ Tennis and the Glenhuntly Tennis Club.
With the end of daylight savings we have relocated our training from Punt road courts to Glenhuntly Tennis club. The club has 4 courts with lights and we look forward to commencing at Glenhuntly Tennis Club in term 2.
Term 2 Programs for IQ Tennis
Please note term 2 is an extended school term and makes up for the short term 1 period. Fees will not be increased per week but the overall fee will be greater as term 2 coaching will run for a greater number of weeks.
In our recent coaches meeting it was decided that the certain groups would now be working with a different curriculum that is focused specifically on readiness for competition. This will include court etiquette, scoring, match play strategy and appropriate behaviour and manners for playing competition tennis. As usual this will be delivered in a fun learning environment that will introduce the players to a new experience in readiness for playing competition in the next season if they choose.
There is a large range of coaching opportunities and services offered by IQ Tennis.
Please contact us directly to discuss your requirements.
• Groups
• Private Lessons
• Semi Private lessons
• Squad Training
• Adult Coaching
• Private Groups coaching
• Corporate Events
Tennis Coaching pays off! Holiday Tournaments
The coaches at IQ Tennis have been visiting the tournaments and keeping an eye on the progress of our students. It has been a great opportunity to see the players adapt their skills in a well rounded on court competitive game. Coaching is important when it comes to competition. The players who have worked hard and focussed on learning as much as possible during their coaching sessions are really excelling. Players are reporting that the enjoyment of the competition is far greater and not always measured purely by the results. We know by the ball toss if it will be a good serve, and hence when the game is over we know if we have played well. Congratulations to all our players who have participated in tournaments at Dingley, Eastern Region, Frankston and to those who have travelled to the National Grass courts Tournament at Mildura.
BOORT Easter Tournament
What an Easter with every season imaginable! We went with the Centenary Park Tennis club to Boort for the Easter Tournament. We camped in tents and sat by the open fire in the evenings discussing outcomes of the day’s games and competitors. We endured 2 thunderstorms with one tent coming down, but overall the event was a huge success. Congratulations to all the winners and grinners who took away fantastic prizes such as cutlery sets and extension leads. Special thanks to Jane Stevens for her home made tomato sauce, a must for a diet of BBQ’s when camping.
IQ TENNIS TACKERS
Ron will continue with Saturday morning coaching and Monday afternoons.

We look forward to seeing all out tackers back in term 2.

ADULT COACHING CLASSES
At Centenary Park Tennis Club we have introduced an extra Adult coaching class. This is a beginner class to encourage Mums, Dads, and Adults alike to come and discover the fun of Tennis. You don’t need to compete but having some basic skills will open up opportunities to play with your kids and give you choices about what you may like to pursue regarding your tennis standard.
