I was thrilled to see such an excellent turnout at our Starter Tennis Tournament last weekend and what a brilliant day it was for everyone involved.
Our 8&U and 10&U events were full of enthusiasm, determination, and impressive tennis. 12 young players took to the courts, showcasing strong rallies, great teamwork, and a wonderful spirit of sportsmanship from start to finish. The round-robin format proved to be a great success, offering every participant plenty of match experience and the chance to apply what they’ve been learning in coaching sessions.
Congratulations to our winners:
8&U Champions:
- Racket Group – Winner: Matteo | Runner-up: Naomi
- Ball Group – Winner: Neel | Runner-up: Ekveera
- Winner: Ethan | Runner-up: Sai
I would also like to extend a big thank you to Coach Toby for running the events and the parents for your support on the day. Your encouragement makes a real difference!
Our new format of timed matches and the “score as many points as possible” approach received excellent feedback, helping players stay engaged, think tactically, and keep the rallies flowing. We will continue to build on this structure to provide fun competitions that support player development at every level.
Looking ahead, we have more exciting Starter Tennis Tournaments coming up, with dates now live on our website. We’ll also be introducing new challenges and match-play opportunities designed to help players grow in confidence, learn match etiquette, and put their training into practice in a friendly competitive setting.
