An Easter tennis camp for local kids was a hit for coach and players alike.
Thirty-two children turned up to the four-day coaching clinic run by Dean Trembath at the Olympic Park Tennis Club this week.
The children, whose ages randed from five to thirteen, also got to play matches against each other in the afternoons.
Mr Trembath, who has coached tennis for the past 20 years, has held his tennis coaching clinics over one week every school holidays for the past twelve months.

A mural beacon
A family and communit themed mural for the Hunter Park Family Centre is the basis of a school holiday project for local kids.
The mural, designed by Janelle Risby, will be hung outside the Wollombi Road Entrance so no one will ever miss the family centre building, which is run out of a house.
"Poeple miss the building. They see it from the park, but not from the road.
"We need a big sign so everyone sees," Ms Risby said.
The mural consists of images that represent the earth, family, the centre's location and education.
The centre hopes to have the mural complete for Family Week in May.

A Flood of Support for Relay
The staff at John Flood Estate are so keen to walk in the Relay for Life, they're even getting their partners to join the team.
The 'Flood Alerters' consists of 10 members so far, seven who are from the office.
The team are entering for the first time this year to show support for people in the community they've encountered through the estate agent's that live with, or look after people with cancer.
"We're doing it just for support," team member Sara Flanagan said.
Their fundraising for the event includes bottled water called 'Flood Water' that is available with a gold coin donation from the John Flood Estate Agents, as well as a raffle.
Tickets for the raffle are $1 and the first prize in the raffle is accomodation at Fingal Bay in a self-contained uniy.
Other prizes are a 12-month pass to the gym at the Muswellbrok PCYC or honorary membership at the Muswellbrook Race Club for the 2007/08 race season, including entry to the Muswellbrook Cup Day.
The team has also contacted people in the community by email, asking for donations.
"We've emailed people from our database, rentals, creditors, to ask for support," Ms Flanagan said.
Relay for Life will be held on April 28 and 29 at Muswellbrook Showground.
