College coaches wanted
Mahurangi College is looking for coaches and managers for the 2022 season. Those interested in any sport code should send through an expression of interest to sports coordinator Adele Ball at a.ball@mahurangi.school.nz. As per Ministry of Education guidelines, all schools require volunteers to be fully vaccinated.
Social tennis in Warkworth
The move to the traffic light system, and an increased capacity of 100 vaccinated players, means Warkworth Tennis Club can resume its social tennis evenings on Thursdays. All are welcome with a pay-as-you-go rate of $7 per evening, or pay for a season for a discounted rate. Club captain Jono Boundy says the club has an app which organises players by their ability and creates a draw which is displayed on a big screen. It means new players can get paired up with opponents of similar skill levels. “I call it speed dating for tennis.”
