One of the biggest stories that month was our tennis coaching, structured lessons for beginners to advanced players. Coaches focused on footwork, shot selection and mental toughness, giving members tools they can use on any court. The feedback loop was simple: play, review, improve. By the end of February, several players reported lower double‑fault rates and stronger backhands, proving the program’s impact.

February also saw a burst of community events, social gatherings that blend tennis with local culture. We hosted a charity night, a family fun day, and a post‑match socials at the clubhouse. These events aren’t just about fun; they strengthen bonds among members, attract new faces, and keep the club buzzing year‑round. Participants left with new friends, a sense of belonging, and often a better serve.

Our club facilities, indoor and outdoor courts, lighting, and a modern clubhouse played a crucial role throughout the month. The newly resurfaced hard courts provided consistent bounce, while the floodlights allowed evening sessions that fit busy schedules. The clubhouse’s locker rooms and lounge area offered a comfortable spot to relax between games. Upkeep of these facilities ensures every member gets a safe, high‑quality playing experience.

Junior development remained a priority with the junior tennis program, age‑specific training for kids aged 6‑16. February’s curriculum introduced rally drills and mini‑tournaments, helping youngsters build confidence on court. Parents appreciated the clear progress reports and the chance to watch their kids compete in the club’s friendly league. The program feeds into our senior squads, creating a pipeline of talent for future club championships.

All these strands—coaching, events, facilities, junior training—intertwine to shape the Kinnoull Tennis Club experience.

Why is the Australian Open Court speed so low this year?

The Australian Open 2020 has experienced slower court speed compared to past years.
