Hi Team Stony Tennis,

Did you know that the right tennis racket can dramatically improve your performance on court? Whether it’s boosting your power, sharpening your control, or reducing the risk of injury, a well-suited racket can elevate every aspect of your game.

But with so many choices out there, how do you know which one is right for you?

We offer a wide selection of high-quality demo rackets from world-leading brand HEAD, which are available to hire for just £10 per week. You can test different models during your regular sessions, giving you real on-court feedback to help you make the best choice.

Here’s how it works:

  •  Test multiple models to find your ideal fit
  •  If you choose to buy one, we’ll deduct your demo hire fee from the purchase price
  •  Receive expert guidance from our coaches to match your game style, skill level, and goals
Whether you're a competitive player, a weekend warrior, or just getting started, choosing the right racket can make all the difference and this is the perfect way to try before you buy – with zero pressure!

Either reply to this email or speak to one of our coaches to get started.

Happy tennising!

Introducing the Brand New Team Stony Tennis ACE Programe – Launching 1st June!

5/8/2025

0 Comments

 
Hi Team Stony Tennis,

After 6 months of planning and development, I’m incredibly excited to share some big news…
From 1st June, we’re officially launching the Team Stony Tennis ACE Programme – a brand-new coaching structure designed to deliver greater clarity, consistency, and progression across all ages and abilities.

What is the ACE Programme?
ACE stands for Aspire, Commit, Excel – three clear pathways that reflect every player’s journey in tennis:
  • Aspire – For players aged 3 to adult who are new to tennis, building core skills, or enjoying the game recreationally.

  • Commit – For players aged 5 to adult who train regularly, compete with confidence, and are committed to improving long-term.

  • Excel – For players aged 9 to 18 who compete at county, regional, national, or international level and are fully dedicated to performance tennis.

This programme will replace our current Development and Competition structure, bringing everything under one, unified pathway that’s easier to follow and more transparent for everyone.
What does this mean for you?

  • There’s nothing you need to do right now – if you're already part of our programme, your session time stays the same.

  • Behind the scenes, we’ll be reorganising groups based on age and ability to align with the new ACE framework.

  • From 1st June, coaches will begin delivering new lesson plans, award systems, and tracking tools to help players (and parents) understand progress and next steps more clearly.

Why this change?
We’re passionate about providing the best coaching environment possible. The ACE Programme will:
  • Improve how we plan and deliver lessons across all age groups.

  • Make progression more visible and meaningful for players and parents.

  • Help our coaching team maintain a high standard with shared expectations and training.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more information about the content of the sessions and how the tracking and awards system works. If you have any questions in the meantime, I’m always here to help.
​
We can’t wait to get started – this is a big step forward for our coaching programme and the players within it.


Happy tennising!

Hi Everyone, 

Now February Half Term has come to an end, it's not long until Easter! 

We are running our popular tennis and multi-activity camp from Monday 8th to Friday 12th April 2024 and as from today you are able to book. Please sign up your child / children soon or pass this info onto any of your friends or family that may be interested, as places are limited.

This is the second year we have run the MORE THAN JUST TENNIS CAMPS, offering a fun-packed agenda of various high and low intensity activities throughout the holidays including tennis, football, table tennis, movies, basketball, yoga, Nerf games, dodge-ball, Kwik Cricket, rounders, athletics, arts and crafts, board games, treasure hunt and more. Tennis is one of our main activities, but the flexible schedule will allow the children to do up to 3 hours of tennis each day if they wish or mix it up with all the other activities....they get to choose!

The children are put into age and ability appropriate groups with the different activities running for 45-minute sessions throughout the day. They can choose which activity they want to do from the options available within each time slot. This ensures they can experience lots of variety while inspiring the development of their physical and mental skills.

The camps are for those aged 5 to 14 and are based at Stony Stratford Tennis Club. The club is an enclosed, safe facility with modern clubhouse and fitness studio for all indoor activities. All professional coaches are DBS Checked, insured, first aid certified and have had Safeguarding training. The children will be well supervised at all times.

We start at 8.30am each day and finish at 5.30pm with flexible options as below:

- Full week with late pick up (Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm)  £197.00
- Full week (Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4pm) £167.00
- Full Day (One day from 8.30am to 4pm) £35.00

- Late pick up (additional cost per day for your child to stay from 4pm to 5.30pm)  £6.00
Every child that books a Full Week will get a free T-shirt and everyone who attends will get a free water bottle.

Regional tournament coming to Stony

2/13/2024

0 Comments

 
Sky Sports are soon to release a brand new channel for tennis, which is great for everyone who can afford the subscription but if not, then you will be in for a tennis treat at Stony Stratford Tennis Club in Easter!

The club have been awarded an LTA Grade 3 regional tournament which is the first time a tournament of this level has been to North Buckinghamshire. The week-long event, starting on Sunday 31st March, will attract players from all over the regional and further afield with many National level players on display. We have categories from 8&U to adults, both in singles and doubles. This really will be a festival of tennis at our home!
Since I joined the club, it has been our ambition to host this level of event and after 14 years it’s coming to light. There is a lot of work and preparation for an event of this caliber and we are expecting 225 entries across the board.

Food and drink will be served all day from the kitchen but we are looking for volunteers to help with a few shifts, so if you are willing and able, then please reply to this email.

We have just produced 500 fliers to go to all of our players who are traveling regularly to tournaments so they can hand them out, along with a strong social media campaign.
Entries for the event go live tomorrow at 10am, on Valentines day, so if you want to enter then please make a note in the calendar. To see more information about the event and to register, please go to www.ssltc.co.uk/grade3.

We welcome spectators to come and support and for all of those in the program who wish to get some inspiration and cheer along all the Team Stony players, you are more than welcome.
Please tell everyone about it as the first year is always the toughest but we know with your support it will become a valued event on the tennis calendar that will bring both prestige and pleasure to everyone involved.

Happy tennising!
