NEWS - BIG PLANS FOR KTF IN QUEENSLAND
| Queensland - Published on December 3‚ 2007 |
 BY STEPHEN MURPHY
Next year is promising to be an exciting one for KTF in Queensland. After a year of consolidation in 2007, with this new administrator learning the ropes, next year there are plans to launch KTF programs in Toowoomba, Mount Isa (Pat Rafter’s home town), Mackay, Townsville and Cairns. This would add to our presence now in Brisbane, Rockhampton, Bundaberg and Sexton.
On behalf of the kids, thank you so much to the Queensland coaching team for their dedication this year – Mick Seeney, Sandra Field, Scott Morgan, Genevieve Knight, Bevan Mulholland, Karen Lawson, Bill McDonald, Brad Clews, Kevin Banner and Karen Farrell.
It was a huge pleasure for me to visit long-time KTF coach Kevin Banner (pictured) in Bundaberg earlier this year. Kevin has been coaching at Avondale State School this year. He is one of those highly experienced coaches who are lynchpins in their local tennis communities. Visits to other KTF coaches are planned in 2008.
Queensland is also preparing to welcome Jenny Kirkman who is re-locating from New South Wales to Bribie Island. Jenny will be continuing the great work she has been doing for KTF. NSW’s loss will be our gain!
Finally, may I take this opportunity to sincerely thank Susie and Kate in Melbourne for all their assistance during the year.
KTF has been operating in Queensland only since 2000. I am extremely confident our best is yet to come. |
