HELLO from Bli Bli Tennis Club. Well, we were very lucky on the Sunshine Coast to dodge the bullet of Cyclone Alfred, and thankfully, there was no damage to our precious courts.
It is hard to believe that more than a year has gone by since our last article, and we would love to share some recent news. We have had the courts regroomed with additional sand in line with necessary ongoing maintenance, and they look great. The electrical wiring of the court lights has now been securely changed to underground. We have purchased new equipment to aid in the maintenance of the grounds and installed blackout blinds in the clubhouse to protect equipment and the building.
As far as night tennis is concerned, we are currently planning to have the court lights managed online simultaneously with a night court booking and payment, which would entail two codes to be given – one to enter the court and one to turn on the lights. When this has been achieved, we will advise full details on our booking website.
We remind players that we have a defibrillator located inside the building.
The Club Committee, comprised entirely of volunteers, works hard to encourage more people in the community to play tennis and make use of our courts, which are easily accessible with up-to-date online bookings and memberships. Using the online booking system, it is very easy to book your court hire and receive your code to allow entry to the courts. Our fees are the lowest for any tennis club on the coast.
We must comply with the standards of Sunshine Coast Council from whom the Club leases the facilities, making sure that it is a safe place for all. The Club is also affiliated with Tennis Australia.
Our wonderful coach, Ryan Thomas, continues to be very actively involved in coaching young people in our area and is popular and well-liked by parents. Ryan may be contacted on 0403 736 774 for coaching enquiries.
Social tennis is up and running again on Tuesday and most Thursday mornings from 7-9am and all are most welcome. We have a new initiative of night tennis on Tuesday night from 7-8pm and we encourage members and non-members to come along for $5 to cover the lights.
We welcome with open arms any new members, both to play the wonderful game of tennis and also to help in the running of our great little club.
Bookings may be made through Clubspark on our site, Bli Bli Tennis Club.
