2009 Year-End School Holiday Programme - 23 - 26 Nov
Mad about Tennis
by Tabby Sim
For some reason, the last year-end School Holiday
Programme held from 23 to 26 Nov saw our juniors flocking to
tennis. 21 of them signed up to learn the game from Jimbo
Tennis Management.
In addition, eight junior members aged between three and
seven signed up for the Fun Gymnastics Funstart which
involved a lot of floor work. This workshop was conducted by
our regular Fun Gym Instructress, Karen Yip.
Some were tennis newbies, others had dabbled with the game
but didn’t get too far. And a few were already enrolled in our
weekly Tennis Junior Development Programme – but they must
have figured that a double dose of tennis wouldn’t hurt, since it
was the school holidays and they had some time to spare.
