Children from Years 1-3 participated in four weeks of tennis coaching sessions this term, run by MacKillop 2009 graduate, Joshua Grace. The children were excited to learn skills with Josh each week, and thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humour.
The main focus was on developing the fundamental movement skill of 'striking'. The students also learned different grips, practised forehand and backhand shots and improved their ability to rally with a partner. Primary Phys Ed teacher Mrs Adele Ryan said it has been a great introduction to the sport of tennis, made possible thanks to another Sporting Schools grant this term.
In addition to the coaching session, the grant also enabled the College to purchase more tennis equipment, including nets, racquets and balls.
