With summer sports in full swing, tennis is no different when the Bunbury Tennis Club launching its junior season on October 18.
Young and interested players are still welcome to join with play runs from 4pm -6pm every Friday.
It is five dollars for a casual or $50 per child for the first two and free for a third child.
The play is organised and all juniors are graded according to ability so new and older players are very welcome.
The club also hosted its annual Fluro Day to support Ronald McDonald House on October 19. There was a great crowd, all dressed in bright and about $1000 was raised for the charity.
Bunbury Tennis Club is very proud to support this event in conjunction with David and Trina Eagles from McDonalds Bunbury, Bunbury South, Dalyellup and Treendale.
Overall winners on the day were Carl Parkin, Clint Cooper, Pam Brodie and Kate Martin. At the recent State Seniors Titles held at Royal Kings Park Tennis Club, Carl Parkin won the over 50's Mens ITF singles event for the first time, with Sophie Collins and Gayle Narkle winning the Ladies Over 35's non-ITF Ladies Doubles event.
In other tennis news, South Bunbury Primary School were awarded as the most outstanding school at the Tennis Industry Awards night.
This award recognises schools that have aligned with a Tennis Australia qualified coach, have a dedicated staff member assigned to tennis, have strong links with the local club and coach, and have incorporated tennis as part of the curriculum.
South Bunbury Primary School physical education teacher Linda Hutton received the accolade on behalf of the school on October 11. The school was recognised for its work on making the sport accessible to as many students as possible with its tennis inclusion day event.
The day involved students from both the primary school and educational support centre. Teams were named and captained by a student from the education support centre who presented players with ANZ Tennis Hot Shots shirts and equipment. Support centre teacher Joelene Martin said the day had so many benefits for the children.
"The inclusive tennis program has made the students feel valued and equal to their mainstream peers," she said.
