Break away Program october 2015
The first week of the Breakaway Holiday program welcomed over 90% of new youngsters who were brave to come and have a go at the game of tennis. The initial disappointments on their faces when their rackets just couldn’t connect with the tennis balls. However, as new friends are made, the nerves calmed down, and new skills were slowly mastered, it was a euphoric feeling watching their faces change to that of excitement as the ball connects with the racket for the first time. From then on, it is just hitting and hitting, forehand, backhand, so on and on for a couple of hours.
Breaking only to have morning tea & lunch..
And then that first challenge against another person they just couldn’t get enough of it..
We are thankful to Counties Manukau for choosing us as a provider to keep kids active during these two weeks of holidays.
Although the program is provided for 11-17 year olds, we also welcome 4-11 year olds – Grasshoppers and Juniors. A mix we have kept for the past 5 years of running the program.
We believe that if we are able to work with them at a young age, then we are instilling in them some values and friendships that will help them in the future to make positive decisions for their lives.
