Last Friday, Tennis Victoria, Buldau Yioohgen (Anglicare’s Indigenous Youth Leadership Academy) and the Bendigo and District Aboriginal Community hosted Culture on Court in Castlemaine – an event that mixed culture with tennis plus plenty of fun in a culturally safe environment.
Participants improved their tennis skills and experienced cultural activities.
The event coincided with AO on the Road – a trophy tour where the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup and the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup is visiting more than 20 regional towns across Victoria in the lead-up to the Australian Open in 2023.
AO On the Road is designed to encourage people of all ages to pick up a racquet and give tennis a go as part of a healthy lifestyle.
