Taking your tennis to the next level!

Many juniors do not understand the levels of tennis events which is why we actively encourage players to come along and watch junior matches to give them some insight.

At the end of July we have a G4 event at Southsea which we are encouraging a number of our players to compete in but for the more confident players why not take yourself outside your comfort zone and try a G3.

These are true tennis experiences and a great opportunity to make new friends. For more information please speak to Sam or email [email protected].

Over the Summer Holidays our coaches revert to referees, competition organisers and court supervisors for a host of tennis tournaments across Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Sunday 26th July - 1st August we are at CourtX , Southsea for the following events:

8u Singles
9u Singles and Doubles
10u Singles and Doubles
11u Singles and Doubles
12u Singles
14u Singles and Doubles
16u Singles
18u Singles and Doubles
Men and Ladies Singles/Doubles/Mixed Doubles
Mens and Ladies Singles 35+

This is a great opportunity to play a grass court event right by the seaside.

With the World Cup approaching, many people across our communities are looking forward to the tournament and will be hosting events, gatherings and celebrations. It is a great opportunity to bring people together and strengthen community spirit.

However, we also know that major sporting events can unfortunately coincide with an increase in domestic abuse reports. To help ensure that anyone affected knows where to find support, Hampshire County Council has launched a county‑wide awareness campaign for the duration of the World Cup.

Bishop's Waltham Junior School

It's not all about hitting more tennis balls to improve your tennis game!

Optimising your tennis performance goes beyond mere court practice. As a team frequently encounter players complaining of leg or shoulder pain, which often stems from inadequate physical conditioning and sedentary lifestyles.

To excel as a well-rounded athlete, it's essential to incorporate strength training into your weekly training.

Our experienced Strength and Conditioning Coach and Personal Trainer, Chris, offers tailored weekly junior sessions focused on balanced bodyweight exercises. Enrolling your player into our strength and conditioning program can significantly enhance their tennis abilities, reduce injury and ensure a healthy lifestyle.

Ideal for players from green ball level and above.

Junior S&C Session runs at the tennis courts on a Wednesday from 6-7pm. For more information please contact Chris on 07799 111787 or email [email protected]
