Junior School

Professional Coaching.

Please see Sally or Leslie in the Junior School office for all of the information on the multitude of programmes and opportunities for boys to receive coaching before and after school, or at our popular lunchtime sessions.

Preppies and Year Ones look out for our exciting "Aussie Mozzie" tennis.

Squads

Toptenn conducts a series of development squads for all levels throughout the school. These squads are programmed to accelerate each boy's progress and enable the best players from each level to compete and train with the best players from other year levels.

Recently Hendrik Gutwirth, an exercise physiologist, has been assessing the fitness levels and designing customised summer fitness programmes for each player in the Firsts and Senior Development Squad.

Father Son Championship

Although we put the Annual Toptenn father/son champoinship on hold in 2005 we plan to re-stablish it on the tennis calendar for 2006. John and Paul Meadows form a pretty awesome combination and are the current title holders.
