Voyager Tennis Academy
We are proud and excited to share the news of our very first player to come full-cycle through the elite tennis McDonald College program since it started in 2013. Millie Khoury joined us in 2015 in Year 11 and is now on a full tennis scholarship in the U.S. at Tyler Junior College in Texas. She is currently studying Psychology having just completed her first year with a 4.0 GPA (High Distinction).
Millie is thoroughly enjoying the tennis, study and social life in the States with Tyler winning the 2018 NJCAA National Championships. Next year, we see another six McDonald College students going to the U.S. to continue their journey to professional tennis and many more following this college tennis pathway in the next couple of years.
In other news, we are also thrilled to have Andrew Thomas recently join the Voyager Tennis coaching team. Andrew was the No. 1 Junior in the world for the 12/U and 14/U age groups and competed on the ATP tour. In this short interview, Andrew talks about his career and philosophy on developing players.
The McDonald College Boys Team were crowned AICES champs & progressed to winning C.I.S Championships without dropping a set.
We also had TMC student Dario Kmet represent NSW as our #1 Player in the Pizzey Cup State Teams Championships, where NSW won the National Event.
TMC student Ethan Lye was a Finalist at the Melbourne Galipolli ITF G4 singles tournament and is now setting his sights on the Australian Open Junior Grand Slam in 2019.
Finally, registrations are now open for our next Tennis Open Day with Voyager Tennis Academy to be held on 3 August 2018. The day will include a tour experience of The McDonald College and world-class tennis facility at Sydney Olympic Park, with an opportunity to speak with Voyager Head Coaches Luke Bourgeois, Jess Engels and Andrew Thomas, as well as seeing our elite players in training.
