Hi Team Stony Tennis,

What a fantastic weekend we had at our recent Starter Tennis Tournament! With a great turnout and an electric atmosphere, it was a brilliant showcase of young talent, enthusiasm, and developing match skills.

Our 8&U and 10&U players delivered some excellent tennis, with 10 young competitors enjoying plenty of match play in a fun, supportive environment. From long rallies and smart point construction to positive attitudes and sportsmanship, it was everything we want our Starter Tournaments to be.

The round-robin format, combined with our new timed matches and “score as many points as possible” system, was a big hit. This approach keeps players engaged, encourages tactical thinking, and maximizes time on court—perfect for building confidence and match awareness.

Congratulations to our winners:

8&U Champions
 William |  Tobias and Neel 

10&U Champions
 Zara |  Zain (Silver)

A huge well done to all the players who took part—you should be incredibly proud of your effort and progress. Thank you as well to Coach Toby and parents for delivering another excellent event, and to the parents for your fantastic support and encouragement throughout the day.

What’s Next?
We have more Starter Tennis Tournaments coming up, with dates now live on our website. These events are ideal for:
  • Gaining real match-play experience
  • Building confidence in a competitive setting
  • Learning match etiquette and scoring
  • Putting coaching into practice in a fun, pressure-free environment
Places are limited and fill up quickly, so we recommend booking early.

Hi Team Stony Tennis,

Last Saturday we hosted our Parent & Child Tournament, and what a fantastic event it was!

With 32 players on court plus plenty of supporters cheering from the sidelines, the club was full of energy, smiles, and some brilliant family teamwork.

It was great to see parents and children competing together, supporting each other, and sharing such a fun experience on court.

Congratulations to our winners:
  •  Group A: Laszlo & Zeno
  •  Group B: Piotr & Matteo
  •  Group C: Darren (John ) & Jack

As the event organiser, I couldn’t be prouder of the atmosphere created by everyone involved. Our club is so special as you can bring all ages and abilities together and make a fantastic event. It’s really important to give children the opportunity to play with their parents, and I think the next event will be even bigger.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported the event. We’re already looking forward to the next Parent & Child Tournament, which promises to be even bigger and better!

See you on court soon.

Happy tennising!

Exciting New Inclusive Tennis Initiative - Volunteers Wanted.

2/26/2026

0 Comments

 
Hi Team Stony Tennis,

We’re proud to share an exciting update from Team Stony Tennis.

Two weeks ago, our coaching team successfully completed specialist inclusion training, equipping us with the skills and understanding to deliver high-quality tennis sessions for autistic children and players with visual, hearing, and learning challenges. This is a meaningful step forward in making tennis accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.

Following this training, we’re delighted to confirm that we will begin working with a local school after Easter, and we couldn’t be more excited to put our learning into practice and make a real difference through tennis.

To help support this initiative, we are now looking for volunteers who would like to be involved in these sessions.

Volunteer time:
Wednesdays, 1:30pm – 2:30pm, starting after Easter.


No coaching experience is required—just enthusiasm, patience, and a willingness to support children in a positive sporting environment.

If you’d like to get involved or would like more information, please reply to this email or get in touch with the Team Stony office. Your support could have a huge impact.

Please reply to this email if you are interested to volunteer this session.

Thank you for being part of a community that believes tennis truly is for everyone.

Happy tennising!

John Cavill
