Monthly Saturday Matchplay
This year, we have a new plan for Matchplay and Tournaments as part of our Junior Coaching Programme, with the main aim to help more children play in more matches in a structured and organised manner.
Every month we will run Saturday Matchplay for U8/U9s, U10s and U11-18s. These matchplay sessions are aimed at players on our program who are or potentially, or will be playing competitions at and outside the club. They will be taking place on on Saturday 13 September, Saturday 11 October, Saturday 9 November and Saturday 6 December. Children have to be members and they are invite only sessions. Children have to be members and they are invite only sessions.
Age group time slots:
- 12 – 2pm – U8/U9 Matchplay
- 2 – 3.30pm – U10 Matchplay
- 3.30 – 6pm – U11-U18 Matchplay
- 6 – 7pm – Pizza in the Clubhouse

Saturday 6 December
- U8/U9 Matchplay at 12 – 2pm
- U10 Matchplay at 2 – 3.30pm
- U11-U18 Matchplay at 3.30 – 6pm
- Pizza in the Clubhouse at 6 – 7pm
We want to create a coach supported feel at the club where our juniors get consistent match play and for our coaches to see where they can improve. We do expect our juniors to participate in our monthly match play Saturdays.
Local Tournaments
Below is a list of local tournaments where our Elly Shearman Tennis Coaches will attend to support and guide your children through the tournament experience.
Parents will need to enter their child(ren), but once at the tournament our coaches will guide the children so that parents can sit back and enjoy watching their children play. Again, we will expect our juniors who are able to play matches to be entering two tournaments during a long term, and more if they are aiming for County Level.
Tournament our Coaches will attend:
Kings Lawn Tennis Club – Dom

Subject to change depending on entries for tournaments.
We believe this new way of attending matchplay sessions and competing in local tournaments engages more children in the tournament structure for tennis. It also helps guide parents and children, whilst giving matchplay opportunities at the club, to develop confidence in the match court and for most age groups therefore having more match play over a term.
