Get Set Play’s weekly training sessions in Olivedale to culminate in mini masters match play events, which pit players of similar skill against each other regularly at both Olivedale and Fairland tennis clubs.
Players are sorted into green, orange and red ball categories, irrespective of their ages, as they learn the intricacies of the great game that is tennis.
“The kids have been having fun at the tournaments as with all sports, competition drives players to new levels,” said Resnia de Lange, owner of Get Set Play.
