Tennis NT served up an exciting three-day clinic in Jabiru, located in stunning West Arnhem Land, from Wednesday 17th of November to Friday 19th of November, led by Tennis NT’s TDO, Benjamin Cunningham.
Nestled approximately 2.5 hours East Southeast of Darwin, Jabiru is famously known as the gateway to Kakadu National Park. Over 100 students from Jabiru Area School, Stars Foundation, Clontarf Foundation, and surrounding communities enthusiastically participated in the tennis activities, both during and after school hours.
Despite facing a challenging local environment – where the mozzies seemed to outnumber the fallen trees left by recent cyclone Fina – a fantastic and memorable time was had by all involved!
Recognizing Sportsmanship & Effort
The event highlighted exceptional talent and attitude. A student from the Stars Foundation and a student from the Clontarf Foundation were each recognized and awarded a brand-new tennis racquet and a red tennis ball for their outstanding sportsmanship and competitive spirit on the court. Furthermore, several other prizes were distributed to Jabiru Area School students who demonstrated excellent actions and attitude throughout the three-day period.Special Shout-Out
