The clinics were held in Glen Innes, Guyra and Tenterfield with over 124 juniors participating throughout the holidays.
Mr Cole said the sessions help juniors with their social skills and wellbeing as well as primarily focusing on their technique and speed and agility.
“The clinics are a good way for children to have some fun but also if we identify some talent we can nurture that,” he said.
“Tennis is a game that you can learn and get better at, but we do find a good number of children have a natural hand and eye coordination that suits the game.
“The Glen Innes children enjoyed themselves and we did see some good talent amongst the participants.”
Mr Cole said the clinics would not have been such a success without the participation of local parents.
“Many thanks go to all parents who supported our clinics, without their help and support these camps would not be held,” he said.
“I would also like to thanks my junior coaches Olivia, Angus, Kaleb, Steph, Kasey and Andrew.
“Many of the kids commented that they enjoyed getting instruction from an adult as well as people their own age.”
