Meadowbank Tennis coaching transition to Voyager Tennis

Letter from Coach Ray Brenan

Dear Parents and Players,

After 31 years of operating the Meadowbank Tennis Courts, I have decided to transition the coaching programs to Voyager Tennis who will be leading the management and delivery of all programs from this year onward.

I have really enjoyed my time at the club and will miss many of you as I move onto the next chapter in my life. I’m hoping that you will continue with your coaching classes and various competitions for many years. The tennis camp completed from January 9-12 was my last coaching commitment at Meadowbank.

Voyager Tennis is one of Australia’s leading tennis providers and has a fantastic track record of providing high quality services at each of its locations along with participation opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.

Their Meadowbank coaching team is among the best in the industry and will help with a smooth transition and to ensure that all players and parents continue to enjoy their tennis. Over the past months Voyager has fully renovated the venue including resurfacing all eight courts with synthetic grass and LED lighting, refurbishment of both lower & upper clubhouses as well as bathrooms, upgraded pro-shop, landscaping and installing a book a court online facility.

Voyager encourages all players to book in for a FREE class trial so players and parents can meet the new coaches and make recommendations for term 1.

All trials can be booked online by clicking on the links below:

Red Ages 4-7 years

Orange Ages 8-9 years

Green ages 10-11 years

Yellow ages 12+

Adults

Enquiries for private lessons can be made by emailing meadowbank@voyagertennis.com with players availability.

I would like to thank all players who have participated in the tennis programs at Meadowbank and look forward to helping the Voyager team transition to continue to provide great tennis to the local community.

Any questions please give me a call on 0418 168 868.

Ray Brennan
