🎾 Giving Back to Our Local Schools! 🎾

We were proud to sponsor the Davis Cup, and to celebrate we ran a Facebook draw for local schools to win a Wilson Tennis Pack.

Congratulations to Matarau School, whose name was drawn thanks to the hundreds of votes they received! 👏

It was awesome to drop the pack off and see the excitement - hopefully it inspires plenty of future tennis stars out on the courts! 🎾

We love supporting our local community and schools wherever we can.

Enjoy the new gear, Matarau School! 🙌
