The participating children ranged in age from five years to 15.
“They were all enjoying it. There were up to 50 a day and I think they liked the format because it was based on having fun,” he said.
Tennis instructor of 32 years, Peter believes it is rewarding seeing his students improve their skills each day.
He said at least a dozen of the participants were visitors to Forbes, from areas such as Orange and Sydney.
“Quite a few of them have come to visit grandparents. Some do it every holidays,” he said.
Peter coaches at Forbes Tennis Courts and at Wirrinya Tennis Court during school term. If you are interested please contact Peter Clifton on 0403 335 205.
