🎾🔴⚫See below the final day Sapsasa Tennis wrap up, written by coach John Pick. Thanks to John and manager Nadia Kruger for all of their hard work in what was a carnival of great benefit to the students:
Day 3 resulted in a 16 sets to 2 win over Onkaparinga who unfortunately were without one of their girls.
This win placed us in 5th position.
We played 5 matches, winning 16-2,
having a draw in sets and losing by 2 games,
2 x 7-11 losses and a
6-12 loss.
The team has proudly represented the Riverland and I’d be really looking to see all of the players continuing to play and develop together.
It seems that we have a group who really enjoy the game and in some cases is their favourite or near favourite sport.
Evidence for this was the extra hitting done when matches had finished as well as you just get a feeling that they love playing.
I liked our competitiveness, our ability and willingness to move to the ball and our sportsmanship. One of our aims during the week was to really connect in doubles and play team tennis. We did this well.
Another focus was to move on quickly on to the next point and not dwell on the result of the previous point. This is harder to achieve, particularly when players are very competitive. This needs to be practised, so that it becomes part of you and enables you to play better.
Team morale during the week was high and there was good support on and off court for each other.
Lots of learnings during the week. Noticeable that the points went longer and were harder to win and contact for all players was higher than they’re used to. This did take some adjustment and the players are better for the experience.
Thanks to manager, Nadia Kruger, for her great work leading into the week and during the event.
Thanks also to the parents for supporting their children and making sacrifices so they can be involved.
Finally thanks to Peter Safralidis who does a great job and ensures that everything runs smoothly.
