Just a reminder for parents and grandparents to please keep an eye on their children/grandchildren in the playroom and tidy up after them. After 6 pm last Saturday the playroom was essentially vandalized (click for a photo). We do appreciate that the majority are already taking responsibility of their children but we do notice that some parents/grandparents are letting children run wild in there.
The SAC children's football coaches this year are Philippe and Eric; the coaching language is French.
On Saturdays, there are Mini football sessions for 5-8 year-olds, and from 8 upwards there is Junior Football.
The tennis and multisport camps for the All Saints'/Toussaint holidays for children will run from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM from 21 to 25 October and from 28 to 21 October.
For Group lessons, there are still availabilities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for both children and adults.
Looking forward to seeing you on the Standard’s courts.
