Forster Tennis Club once again played host to the 2016 Tennis NSW Country Championships last week.<\/p>\n
The Country Championships combine the Junior Tour event and Silver Australian Money Tournament (AMT), which brings together\u00a0the best players from Country NSW. This year, around 400 participants took to the courts throughout the week.<\/p>\n
While it was a disappointing finish to the championships with the final day washed out, there was plenty of top quality tennis and extra activities to ensure the week was a success.<\/p>\n
The 16\/U Teams Event was played on the back of the championships with the Metropolitan Slammers taking victory over North West. As well as an officiating workshop with NSW\/ACT Officiating Development Coordinator Martin Oosthuysen, three coaching workshops were also held during the week with Tim Hill (NSW Coach Development Manager) and Callum Beale (National Academy Coach and Talent Development Manager), which saw more than 30 coaches in attendance.<\/p>\n
Forster Tennis Club will host the NSW Country Championships for a further 3 years.<\/p>\n
