Hot shots a 'hit'

Round one: Rochester’s Hot Shots participants at the first night of the 2021 tennis development program.

Rochester’s Tennis Hot Shots program started last week, as the 2021 summer sports season kicked into gear.

Doudle-handed backhand: Patrick O’Sullivan is a picture of concentration.
Ball girl: Amarli Dempsey ready to fire a forehand winner.
Ball games: Harry Whipp practising one of the techniques used by Hot Shots for hand-eye co-ordination.
Catch and release: Will Frawley during the Hot Shots warm-up at Rochester last week.

The Wednesday evening program, which attracted juniors aged from five to nine, is co-ordinated by Rachael Major and Will Leahy.

Rachael has run the program for the past six years, following the progress of her two daughters. They were able assistants to the Section One Rochester tennis stars last week.
