Women’s Social 2018

WOMEN’S SOCIAL BACK FOR TERM 4

Our wildly popular Women’s Social program returns for Term 4. Women’s Social is a weekly program for women to have a regular hit with great people in a fun, supportive, and social environment at one of Melbourne’s most beautiful tennis clubs. Our best coaches, including the newly-arrived Samantha and Mel, will take you through a lively hour of skills, drills, matchplay and fitness work, followed by drinks and nibbles in the Clubhouse. Get fit, have a hit, and get to know other people you can play with in the future. All ages and abilities catered for, and we’ll even sort you out with a racquet if you need one.

Tuesdays at 7.30pm starting 16 October and running for 8 weeks.
$88 members
$120 non-members
(Hint: it’s almost cheaper to join the club and pay the member price – and then you get free courts at other times).

Sign up with Calan McCarthy on 0423 772 960 or via email calan@live.com.au.

Court Hire Price Increase

For a long time, court hire at PHTC has been the very cheap $20/hr. However our courts are now busier than they have ever been, so we have had to raise this fee to $25/hr in peak times: weeknights 5-10pm and weekends 9am-4pm.

Rest assured we are still some of the cheapest courts around.

We have also reduced the maximum booking time to 60 minutes. This will help relieve congestion on the courts.

Premiers!

Congratulations to our C Grade 3 Unisex team who on Saturday registered a crushing 5 sets to 1 victory over Moomba Park to bring the Premiership back to Princes Park. George, Florian, Prithvi and Asha were too good in an occasionally feisty encounter, and it was their determination and relentless pressure as much as their sublime tennis skills that got PHTC over the line. Congratulations George, Florian, Prithvi, Asha, who played on the day, and Xavier, Jude, Luca and Anika who contributed vital wins throughout the season.  A very proud day for PHTC.
