Tennis Coaching

The P.B. Tennis Association ran coaching classes for promising junior players at the Lytton High School courts during the middle week of the secondary school holidays. Two professional coaches, Earle Denford, Napier, and Mose Harvey, Gisborne, were on hand for five days, taking the boys in the mornings and the girls in the afternoons. The classes should greatly benefit the young players.
