GWTC SHOE TAGS
Another successful Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea.
GWTC introduced “shoetags” seven years ago and they MUST be
worn on the shoes of all Club members when playing tennis at
the Club.
RACQUET
This became necessary because of the incidence of visiting
players who fail to pay the required Visitors Fee.
Players without a visible “shoetag” will be asked to leave the
courts if they have not already paid the Visitors Fee.
& BALLS
Next issue of Racquet & Balls
Shoetags for 2021/22 are “GREEN”. will be September 2021.
Items to be emailed to
Once you have paid your membership fees, please ensure Maggie Cooper
that you receive the new GREEN shoetag from Vince on 0472 maggie.mc@gmail.com

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
As I write this report, we are coming to the end of the
2020/21 financial year at GWTC. This has been another
year of disruption to tennis activities due to COVID-19/
lockdowns. Let’s hope for better times ahead as we all get
our vaccinations done.
We have gained several new members over the last 3
months so a big welcome to all of you. I hope that you
enjoy your time at our club. Our Total Membership
currently stands at 315 which is an excellent number.
Back on Sunday 23rd May (just prior to the last lockdown),
GWTC hosted members of Tennis Seniors Victoria
for an afternoon of social tennis followed by afternoon
tea. We had 31 players, the weather was great as was
the tennis and afternoon tea. The photo on the right TSV Glen Waverley Sunday Social.

WINTER SEASON
Amazingly, we are already up to round 8 and our AARAL
teams have performed very consistently so far.
On Saturday, our 4 teams sit either 4th or 5th.
New Rubbers (B grade) players Lucas, Amelie and
Rohit have all risen to the standard required and
I’m confident they will make the finals.
Our C1 team of Nici, Christian, Kayla, Chris and
Vedang have never missed finals in all their
seasons at Glen Waverley and I expect their great
run to continue.
What has been very pleasing from a coach’s
perspective is our team of mostly new players
(Anu, Advay, Saseni, Patrick and Jamie) and the
improvements they have made since the start of
the season- finals await , great work kids!
On Sunday, Nihal and Zac have been joined by
very good new players Derek and Lucas in D2
and are aiming for their 3rd successive flag. To my
delight, they are top of the ladder and will be
promoted to D Special next season im sure! NICI
In D4, we have 2 teams of mostly new players
who have performed exceptionally well and were
separated by 1 game in their match 2 weeks
ago. Ishan is undefeated in singles and other first
season players Ella, Pratiti, Edward and Aarav have
also had some fantastic singles wins.
After earning a big promotion to C Special 2,
Herambh, Joypurbo, Amrish and Josh look set to
play finals and will also be aiming for their third
consecutive premiership.
Our D Special 2 team of Keeley, Jacob and Akshay
sit on top of the ladder in the first season of Yellow
Ball tennis whist our B1 side of Kerry , Grace ,
Ashleigh and Jason are 2nd on the ladder.

COACHING REPORT
Since lockdown, coaching numbers
have gone from strength to strength
and reached a peak in Term 2. As per
every year in the history of tennis
coaching in Melbourne, numbers
will definitely decrease in Term 3. l’m
hoping not as much as our pandemic
winter of 2020!
Looking ahead , we will run the
Junior Club Championships in the
September school holidays and
I expect the event to be as well
supported as ever.
Happy hitting everyone!
