| Invitation from Stuart Williams | |
You can relive your Oz Open tennis moments every Thursday morning by joining a group of active retirees who play tennis in Vermont. How long since you have played a love game? Did you show Ash Barty how to do the back-hand slice or Nick Kyrious how to serve or even Stosur how to crunch a forehand winner? You won’t have forgotten those skills and the great thrill of whacking a winner into the corner. Come on, relive those magic moments. This friendly, keen and energetic group come from Whitehorse and neighbouring local government areas. |  |
Playing tennis is a great way to have fun while boosting your health. The men and women who make up this fitness friendly group undoubtedly improve and sustain their mind and body while having fun. Come and confirm that playing tennis beats going to the gym when it comes to preventing muscle and bone problems in later life.
Recent studies have shown that playing tennis is an excellent sport for older people as it enables them to maintain their health, fitness, balance, strength and agility. Tennis also has numerous social and mental health benefits as well. Our morning laughs and smiles can be added to benefits like- increasing aerobic capacities, increasing bone density, improving muscle tone, strength and flexibility as well as maintaining and improving balance and reaction times. We certainly reduce our stress every Thursday morning.
We play on the excellent en tout cas courts at the Vermont Tennis Club. The courts are in Nunkeri St, off Terrara Road, Vermont. The group is one of the activity groups associated with the Whitehorse Activities Club. We only play doubles and the group is comprised of men and women aged from mid-sixties to late eighties. Most mornings we are able to play 3 sets. An 8am -8.30 am start allows us to get our exercise done before it gets too hot and head off for a social cup of coffee.
We are keen to have more people join the group. We have access to at least 4 courts so there is not a lot of sitting around. Come join us.
