St Joseph’s Memorial School, Norwood has recently been fortunate enough to receive the professional tennis coaching of Domenic Marafiote (Director and High Performance Coach of High Performance Tennis) with our years 2 to 5 students.
Domenic led a 4 week program of ANZ Hot Shots Tennis with these classes in their Physical Education time. We found that Domenic was able to skillfully engage the students, use a series of skill drills and modified games that were developmentally appropriate and adapt his approach for differing learning styles and ability levels. Over the 4 weeks of the program we observed that the students showed improved skill levels and better game sense in this short period of time.
The school intends to continue the partnership with Domenic next year and certainly recommends his services to other schools interested in adding value to any existing Physical Education program.
