Tennis trip of a life-time – Sunday July 8th – Friday July 13th 2012

It is the tennis trip of a lifetime, this was our fifth trip to the Gold Coast with 22 players travelling to Hope Island for a week of intense training. Each year we stay at the beautiful 5 Star Azzura Greens Resort.

Director of coaching is Glenn Hamilton. Glenn is a qualified Coach with Tennis Australia and has coached in Europe for 12 years. Glenn delivered an extensive tennis program he was assisted by Lachlan Treacher an elite player and coach. Lachlan’s experience includes being training partner for Bernhard Tomic for 7 months during his 2012 Australian Open campaign.

The week of training included 4 days x 4 hours of on court tennis training and in addition 4 one hour fitness sessions professionally delivered by Ben Clark.

To keep a balance on the week, trips to Wet n Wild and Dreamworld were organised.

Glenn, Lachlan and Ben were very impressed with the work ethic and level of intensity displayed over the course of the week by the players. I personally would like to congratulate the players, they teamed well and made many friendships. They were punctual, kept their rooms very tidy, and were a pleasure to coach and supervise. The players that attended the trip to the Gold Coast were,

Jack Armstrong, Polly Barnett, Mandi Bruce, Dominic Campagnaro, Max Campbell, Chris Chiappazzo, Matthew Deary, Harry Everist, Ellie Gladman, Brad Harris, Riley Hocking, Zac Lethlean, Sam Oster, Nicholas Pay, Max Rowley, Blake Reilly, Fraser Sait, Sam Storer, Zach Storer, Tane Thomas, Matilda Walsh,and Will Harrington.
