Tennis Kids Matches Beginners Welcome!
FIND YOUR NEAREST LEAGUE

Our Masters Series is designed for the more proficient junior who can rally consistently.

Ranging from 9 to 15 years, both boys and girls who may have just started a performance session at the local club, right up to county juniors who will play in our top Divisions.

The aim is to ensure every child gets a chance to play a competitive match, once a week, in the same place, against different opponents, in a Division that fits their own standard.

There will be promotion and relegation at the end of each season, so if your child starts in a Division too high or too low for their current ability, they will be able to move to a Division that more suits them.

We have proven that competitive matchplay each week makes children improve four times faster than coaching alone.

Our expert technicians will be on hand to give tips and advice throughout the matches, and ensure that every player learns the art of fair play, and winning gracefully, or losing with good sportsmanship.

There are fabulous prizes for the winners of every Division, as well as FairPlay awards, and every child will play an intense half hour match each week, using proper tennis scoring, and see themselves in the league table.

So not only they, but you, will know how good and at what standard your child is, compared to everybody else in your area, whilst our expert coaches will give them advice on what they need to improve on.
