Kids Corner

Mini leagues, tournaments and competitions are the reasons why so many of you return to our courses, not to mention the fact that each child receives a trophy and certificate. As if all that wasn’t enough some of you have even won signed memorabilia along with meeting professional players!!

Trophies and certificates are awarded to every child.

Difference between a winner (True professional) and a loser (Pretending to be a professional)

Mistake	When a winner makes a mistake he says "I'm Sorry"	He says it was not his fault.
Problem	Goes through the problem	Goes around the problem and never gets past it.
Target	Shows commitment (commitment is already a decision).	Makes only promises.
Self evaluation	I am good but not good enough - not as good as I ought to be.	I am not as bad as some of the other players on my team.
