Stawell Tennis Club leaders have welcomed a return to non-contact summer sport and are inviting interested players to sign up for junior and senior competitions.

Committee member Joel Freeland said plenty of people were already keen to be involved following easing of COVID-19 restrictions in regional Victoria.

“We have already received a high volume of entries for all competitions, and the feedback we’re getting is that people are desperate to get back on court,” he said.

“We as a club are rapt that we are able to provide the community an avenue to play sport in these challenging times.”

The club will host Saturday morning junior and Hot Shot tennis from October 10, with a Wednesday night senior competition underway from October 14. The premier Friday night competition will start on October 30.

“All competitions will run through until at least the start of March with a seven-week break over the Christmas holidays,” Mr Freeland said.

“The club will have a COVID-safe plan in place, with processes and guidelines to follow, which will be regularly communicated to players and could alter throughout the season and is dependent on advice from Tennis Victoria.”

People can enter competitions by following prompts on the Stawell Tennis Club Facebook page. Entries for junior tennis close on October 4 and seniors on October 8. 

People can call Andrew Dunn on 0438 583 685 for more information.
