One hundred and seventy two of Busselton and Dunborough’s tiniest tennis fans from two schools are set to receive brand new tennis racquets this week. Seventy racquets will be given to Saint Mary Mackillop College, while 102 will go to Dunsborough Primary School.
ANZ’s ongoing support of the initiative has already seen 80,000 racquets delivered since January 2015, with a further 30,000 to be delivered in 2018, bringing the total to 110,000 racquets.
ANZ Tennis Hot Shots and Tennis Australia’s School Partnership Program aim to encourage more children to pick up a racquet and learn tennis as part of their health and physical education curriculum.
Twenty-two time Grand Slam champion Todd Woodbridge is proud of the initiative’s success to date.
“The ANZ racquet initiative is a fantastic way to introduce and inspire more kids to play tennis,” Woodbridge said.
“For them to take a racquet home means that tennis is always within their reach and helps kids to develop healthy habits that keep them fit and active.”
