With Easter just round the corner, a tradition that has been in place for many years took place at Tennis Whitsundays: The Soft Hand Drill.

The catching and throwing of raw eggs with much laughter and five dozen broken eggshells.

The pair who threw and caught the eggs over the longest distance were the girls, Anerize and Zoe on Tuesday afternoon.

Friday morning the boys and Junior Coach Indi of the Brekky group fumbled the egg the most but had the most fun.

Hayden Bradley, a young player from the club finished runner up at the JDS Div 8 in Ayr over the week as well.

Tuesday night social tennis had Norm, Kenny Val, and Tan out on court playing upbeat tennis.

Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon squads were put through their paces before a quick game of community.

Thursday afternoon squad saw Indi and Lacey played Hayden and Lucas in a very competitive game of double bounce, and the boys came out winners on the day.

The club’s Holiday Camp begins Tuesday 9am -12.30pm, with coaches Jenny and Jamie available for coaching over the holidays.
