Kale was honoured with the title of “Rising Star Tennis Coach of Victoria” by Tennis Coaches Victoria Australia, an accolade reserved for the state’s most promising tennis coaches under 30.

Kale’s association with Hume Tennis as one of its most cherished coaches is well-known within the tennis community. His affable nature, combined with his passion and dedication to the sport, has made him one of the most popular coaches at Hume Tennis. 

It’s not just his coaching prowess that makes him stand out. Kale’s dedication also extends to organising and directing tennis tournaments, that has seen him successfully oversees more than 40 tournaments a year at Hume Tennis.

Accepting the award in front of his coaching peers, the sheer pride and joy in Kale’s eyes were palpable. It’s always a significant moment when one’s hard work and dedication are acknowledged by the very community one serves.
