A contingent of Canterbury's best Juniors and Coaches went to Dunedin to participate in the Southern Region Training Camp (5th-7th July). The key concepts of the training camp were forehand topspin, footwork, tactics and the first phase structure of points. Once each training session was finished the Juniors completed a player reflection for what they felt they did well and areas they can work on.

Senior players joined the Juniors on the Friday evening for the action-packed Otago Open (7th-8th July). All our players represented Canterbury proudly and had great results all around. With a special congratulations to Lydia Mercer-Beumelburg winning the Open Women’s Singles, Jong Eub Han & Ellie Zhang winning the Open Mixed Doubles and Abbey Webb & Ellie Zhang winning the Open Women’s Doubles.

Thanks to Shelley Neal (Otago) for the great photos of our Canterbury team down in Dunedin!
