On Sunday 1st December, Lucie and the centre's own expert coaches, Liam Storey, Derek Blackmore and Nikki Trelease, held a marathon training session with Exmouth Tennis and Fitness Centre's up and coming mini tennis players. There were 12 players in total varying in age from 6-10 years. The 6 - 8 year olds trained for 4 hours and the older boys trained for the whole 7 hour session which was broken up by a team quiz.
Lucie demonstrated some key tactical drills, supported and guided the young tennis enthusiasts beginning the afternoon with a strenuous hour-long Strength and Conditioning session.
'Lucie is an inspiration to all our children' commented one of the parents 'and we would like to thank her and the centre's coaches for putting this on.'
A thank you also goes to Jo Louis for allowing the day to happen and to the parents for their support.
Lucie is hoping to return in the New Year for another training day.
