East Fremantle Tennis Club<\/strong> has officially unveiled their new resurfaced courts as part of a recent upgrade to their facilities.<\/p>\n

The East Fremantle venue is the first club in Western Australia to install the Laykold Gel<\/strong> surface. The new playing surface provides acrylic courts with a heightened level of cushioning for players that may be of interest to clubs who are looking to transition from grass courts in the future.<\/p>\n

“The courts were 15 years old so they did need to be upgraded” said Janine Ahern<\/strong>, East Fremantle Tennis Club Manager.<\/p>\n

“We were offered a $46,000 grant from the East Fremantle Council as well as a $6,000 grant from Tennis Australia as part of the National Court Rebate.”<\/p>\n

The four resurfaced courts were officially opened by East Fremantle Mayor, Jim O’Neill<\/strong>, on Sunday, 29 April 2018 at a champagne breakfast.<\/p>\n

“Everyone who attended the opening was really happy with them and really positive after trialling the new surface” said Janine.<\/p>\n

“We’re hoping that the new courts will attract more players down to the club.”<\/p>\n
