Mark Hartnett's Pro Tennis Academy

2024 Christmas Party
2024-12-01 16:00 - 18:00 (Australia/Melbourne)
To celebrate the end of another fantastic year and to thank you all for your support Donvale Tennis Club will once again host our annual Christmas Party.
Mark Hartnett’s Pro Tennis Academy will set up some Hot Shots Courts for the youngsters, test the speed of your serve on the radar guns, there will begames, prizes, raffles, music and maybe even some water bombs.
We would love to see the parents with a racquet in their hand but for those who want to relax they can have pizza and a drink by the bar and just enjoy festive environment.
Feel free to bring all the family and any possible future tennis players but please provide numbers to help us with the organisation.
