VIDA PLAYERS IN USA
Three Vida Players will head to America in August on Tennis scholarships to USA colleges. Nick Tuxen, Justin Raiti and Melissa Grgat have all been long time members of the Vida Team and there tennis has enabled them to study and play overseas. Nick will head to Philadelphia, Melissa to Utah while Justin heads to Austin. We wish them all the best and hope that they continue to develop their games.
Any other players who are looking to further their tennis in the USA, please feel free to speak to a Vida Team member.
BENDIGO CAMP
During the recent school holiday break a group of Bendigo players attended a three day camp in Melbourne. Thirteen players where accompanied by Bendigo Coach Steve Storer for a four hour a day intensive camp. The players were all put through a video analysis program on each of their shots and given visual images for feed back. Other key components that were emphasized were; pre and post match routines, match play, point structures and work rates. The three days highlighted the need for these kids to spend more time on court and gave them plenty of knowledge to go away with. Vida would like to thank Steve for bringing the kids down to Melbourne and giving them the opportunity to see tennis at a high level of training. We look forwards to doing it again soon.
The following article was published in the Australian Tennis Magazine and was written by Vida Tennis Director Kane Dewhurst about the transition between junior and senior tennis.
