ACE OF A DAY for our Y3-4 Mini Tennis Competition eastontennis

The children were from 10 schools, 19 teams, who had lots of fun competing in matches against a number of schools trying to achieve their personal best in serving, forehands, backhands and volleys. Teams were made up of 4 pupils and the points were added together from the number of runs and wickets they took.

A huge well done to all the children who participated showing great attitudes and TEAMWORK (our schools games value for this event). A massive thanks to the sports leaders from @ormistonvictoryacademy for umpiring and scoring the fixtures fantastic as well as Tom Kenny from @nationaltennisassociation who supported the event and encouraged the children throughout brilliantly!
