Dear Members,
The STATC Committee wishes to inform all members and coaching students that our club coach, Patti Katz, has advised the club that she does not wish to extend her coaching contract beyond the end of this year, and furthermore would like to depart as soon as the club can find a suitable replacement.
Patti has offered to continue coaching until the end of Term 3, 2022, unless we are able to replace her sooner. She is also committed to working with her successful replacement to ensure a smooth transition for all parties.
The club is working as quickly as possible to support Patti's wishes, however we must ensure we carry out our due diligence and conduct a thorough search for the best candidate. This will enable the club to build on the great foundation Patti has established, for the long term success of the club.
As we near the final stages of our search, the STATC committee looks forward to announcing the successful applicant by the end of this week, with the aim for all members and coaching students to be able to book their lessons for Term 4 and continue their tennis journey at St. Anthony's Tennis Club.
We extend our sincere thanks to Patti for her service to the club over the last three years and for successfully growing the coaching programs at St. Anthony's. We wish Patti all the very best of health in her well deserved retirement. We look forward to celebrating her retirement with her in the not too distant future.
For any further information on the coaching appointment please feel free to contact me on my mobile on 0419 530 159.
Regards,
Anthony Straford
President STATC
On behalf of the STATC Committee
