Gunnedah Tennis Club member Caitlan Bourke will be among more than 60 of the country’s best junior players, as they soak in elite coaching, competition and skill development during the camp.
Bourke’s coach, Craig Louis said being selected for the camp was “a real honour”.
“There is only a handful of kids selected to take part from each state,” Louis said.
“So this camp will be a fantastic opportunity for Caitlan to further develop her skills and her enjoyment of the sport.”

The four-day long camp will be the beginning of regular competitions within the Super 10s system throughout the year for Bourke.
“While it is only a fairly new structure, the Super 10s have really helped fast track some of the country’s most talented players,” Louis said.
“It’s really an honour for Caitlan and I’m sure she will go really well.
“I think it’s fair to say I’m really proud of her and how far she’s come.”
The Narrabri native has spent several years under the the watchful eye of Louis and the Gunnedah Tennis Club.
“Caitlan has been with us a little while now and it has been really good to see her grow and develop into a really talented player,” Louis said.
“I’m confident there’s going to be big things ahead for her.” Round one of the camp begins on Thursday following an opening ceremony.
The camp’s final round will be played on Sunday afternoon.
