Hi Folks,

Save a few dollars with an early bird entry! Info/entries at http://www.austdeafgames.org.au

Tennis will be played in the mornings from Sunday through until Wednesday - enjoy your sport during the cool part of the day, then you're free to enjoy the other sports and social events of the ADG, check out Albury/Wodonga, or just relax! 

Our round robin format with playoffs for final placing allows for everyone to find their standard. This format pretty much guarantees a fun and social event with lots of tennis! There are no team selections as such - the best few players from each state will earn points towards the teams event. So... whether your an experienced competitor or just like to have a bash, get your entries in!

Yours in Tennis,

Stephen Swann

Great to see Doncaster Tennis Club (Vicky Lee - Slamin Tennis) making their club, coaching and competition programs deaf friendly. Checkout the website at http://slamin.com.au/children/deaf-or-hard-of-hearing-lessons/ for some interpreted videos about the Club and the tennis programs.

On the 3rd Sunday of each month we head to Melbourne Park, for the ACE Tennis Club, organised mainly by Deaf Children Australia. Sessions are run by pro tennis coach Peter Thrupp, who reached the second round of the Australian Open in 1986. Peter grew up partially deaf and attend mainstream schools, and knows first hand what it's like. Sessions are supported by experienced deaf tennis players in a voluntary capacity, and interpreters are provided to ensure everyone can be fully involved. 

Information and a flyer for the program through to the end of 2016 is available at: http://deafchildrenaustralia.org.au/event/ace-tennis-club-2/
