39 children aged 8yrs and under, that had been selected by their clubs and coaches gathered at the Nelson Lawn Tennis Club on Friday 27th November.  The talented children participated in an hour and half coaching development session run by regional coach John Gardiner and development officer Lynnie Nevin.

Children came from Golden Bay, Mapua, Wakefield, Tapawera, Hope, Tasman, Wakapuaka and Nelson Lawn Tennis Club to take part.

This coaching session is held twice a year, once in term 4 and again in term 1 and is the perfect opportunity to  bring all the children together from around the region.  It is exciting for the future of tennis in Nelson seeing this many talented and enthusiastic tennis juniors.
