Wimbledon Ball Girl Taster Training

They’re the unsung heroes of championships, and they’re only 15-years-old. They work long hours on the courts at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, they have to be extremely physically fit, and know the game inside out.  Are we talking about the Young up and comings stars?  No we are talking about the Ball Boys and Ball Girls!

Some very lucky Year 4 and Year 5 girls were lucky enough to attend Ursuline High School on Friday to learn some of the techniques of being a ball girl for the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.  So much training and hard work go into this and for those girls lucky enough to be chosen to participate in the Championship, it will be a momentous experience.

Well done to all our girls who took part today.  It was certainly a great insight to how the Ball Girls (and Boys) have to train.
