Truganina is becoming a tennis hub.

The Truganina Tennis Club recently celebrated its first anniversary and has quickly gained popularity with local residents.

The club’s junior instructional program was launched in April 2023 and now boasts 86 participants with 36 of these young racket swingers now competing in the regional WRTA weekend competitions.

Under the guidance of head coach Patrick Henson the club has also recently launched

several adult programs including Wednesday social tennis, Thursday doubles interclub, cardio tennis and an early bird breakfast club on Saturday mornings.

Truganina are also now participating in WRTA senior competitions too.

It was players at the other end of the age spectrum who were on court when Star Weekly visited last week, with the club’s junior Trug Bug program taking place.

Star Weekly photographer Jacob Pattison captured some of the action.
