Prizegiving and AGM.
Prizegiving will be held tomorrow Sunday 16th August at 2pm, followed by our club's AGM, starting at 2.30pm.
Everyone is warmly welcome to attend; particularly if you won, or were a runner up, in the senior club champs (including the plate competition).

Nick from Marrow has opened up a new butchery in the village (in the Old Post Office). They have helped out the club so let’s help him as he tries to figure out what the locals want to eat. The meat and sausages are great and heaps of off piste stuff like marrow and black pudding. While you are in the building grab a coffee from Tiphane and get straightened out by Jeneal. The place is becoming our second clubhouse!!!

IT'S NOT TOO LATE! This Thursday, 6 Aug (forecast is for a glorious and sunny day) , As Stanley Bay Primary finishes at 1pm for teacher parent interviews, we're offering a half-day program 1-3pm for students. THE GAME has a solution for working parents. Our coaches will collect your children from school, es**rt them to Ngataringa tennis courts, provide afternoon tea, and engage them in non-stop tennis coaching and fun until 3pm.

All welcome to come to the Senior Interclub information evening; talking all things singles, doubles and mixed. Who knows, you may find your team there!

The Game would like to share an upcoming opportunity for kids: our Hot Shots Tournaments, fun and confidence‑building tennis events designed for kids aged 5+ through to around Year 6/7.

The tournament will be held in Auckland over the next 4 weekends, commencing this coming weekend at Orakei Tennis Club on Sunday 9th August. The tournament moves to Ngataringa Tennis Club in Stanley Bay on Sunday 16th August, followed by Campbells Bay and West End.

Typical Schedule

Orange Ball, ages 8-10 (10.30am-12pm) – Quick-fire matches across the morning
Green Ball, ages 9+ (12pm-1.30pm) – Longer timed matches against a range of opponents

These tournaments give young players a chance to enjoy real match play in a supportive environment, with music, prizes, and plenty of on‑court action. Players are grouped by stage (Red, Orange, Green, or Teens), ensuring age‑appropriate competition and plenty of time hitting balls.

Entry is only $15 per event, or $50 for all 4 tournaments.

Tiphaine Logié

Tiphaine Logié began his tennis journey in France at the age of eight, developing a strong connection to the sport throughout his early years. He played consistently until the age of fifteen. Although he later stepped away from competitive play, his commitment to tennis has remained strong and he continues to play interclub in NZ.

For the past two years, Tiphaine has been coaching beginner and intermediate players, focusing on establishing solid technical foundations, building confidence, and fostering genuine enjoyment of the game. He is particularly motivated by seeing players progress in both their skill level and their enthusiasm for tennis.

Tiphaine’s coaching style is defined by patience, encouragement, and a thoughtful understanding of each player’s individual goals. He aims to deliver structured, engaging sessions that support players in challenging themselves, refining their technique, and developing a long‑term appreciation for the sport.
