A Memorable Safari Camp at Sadili: Where Tennis and Life Skills Converged.

From August 5th to 16th, Sadili Oval's serene surroundings hosted a unique and inspiring event—a tennis safari camp that brought together 30 enthusiastic children from the Sadili area. Over these two weeks, the camp provided not just a platform for developing tennis skills but also a nurturing environment for instilling life values that would serve these young athletes well beyond the court.

Each morning, the children, some of whom stayed at the Sadili facility, arrived punctually, excited for the day’s activities. The energy was palpable as the kids eagerly lined up, ready to absorb every bit of knowledge their coaches had to offer. The dedication of the coaches was equally remarkable. With boundless enthusiasm, they guided the young players, focusing on both technique and the joy of the game. Their passion was contagious, as they turned every session into a dynamic learning experience, ensuring no child was left behind. 

In addition to honing their tennis skills, the camp also offered a series of life skills talks, emphasizing the values that define a good sportsman—discipline, respect, teamwork, and perseverance. These principles are carried into the children's lives and studies, helping them grow into well-rounded individuals.

A highlight of the camp was the visit from renowned world coach Judy Murray. Her presence was a special treat for the children, as she shared her wealth of knowledge and took the time to play with them, creating memories that the kids will cherish for years to come. Judy’s involvement was a testament to the camp’s commitment to providing top-tier coaching and inspiring young players. 

After a day filled with learning and fun, the children were treated to a meal before heading home, a small but significant gesture that underscored the camp's holistic approach to caring for its participants.

The Sadili safari camp was more than just a tennis camp—it was a transformative experience for the children involved. They left not only as better tennis players but as more confident and capable individuals, ready to apply the lessons they learned both on and off the court.
