St. Phillips 6th form visit the new National Tennis Centre
On Thursday 29th November 2007 the entire 6th form of St. Phillip's School were invited to a coaching session at the National Tennis Centre's new fantastic new state of the art facility in Roehampton. The centre was built with a view to improving the performance of the top players in Britain and the visit of the 15 young people with special needs was a first for the Lawn Tennis Association.
The 90 minute coaching session was full of fun games as well as mini matches and was thoroughly enjoyed by the students as well as the teachers. The superb facilities and coaching was inspirational and the teachers were hard pressed to get everyone back onto the mini bus at the end of the visit. All the students were given a few little gifts to take away and were even treated to lunch by the LTA in their nutrition concious cafe.
The LTA must be applauded for their recognition and support of Tennis for Special Needs children, and we hope to be able to continue with this mutually beneficial relationship.
