Tennis for Juniors

Here at Bishop’s Stortford we are proud to be able to offer a programme of tennis activities that appeal to kids of all ages and abilities. Whether tennis is their first, second, third or new sport, we will have activities for them. The more your child’s tennis improves, the more involved they will want to become in more of these activities!

We cater for group and one-to-one coaching, and for the more experienced juniors we run Performance Squads. We offer a wide variety of junior coaching groups to cater for all ages and level of ability

Have a look at the BSLTC Youth Programme link below for times/days of all coaching sessions, and if you would like more information on availability of groups please email Natalie.

We recommend children wear comfortable clothes, eg. T-shirt, hoodie, shorts/joggers and trainers and bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated, and in the Summer a sunhat is essential. If your child is a beginner we have rackets they can borrow and coaches can advise on which size racket would be suitable.

Annual Junior Membership is £50 and a requirement for those in the coaching program, this also gives a great discount on Holiday Camps as well as being able to attend social sessions, practice at the Club and to participate in tournaments.

Matches

What better way to put the coaching into practise than to play matches. For children of all ages, we provide several ways in which they can play matches against similarly skilled children – to gain experience against children within the club, and when they have the experience, against children from other tennis clubs across the County. Read more about starting to compete HERE.

Team Challenge

This is a local, fun, team competition aimed at recreational standard players who have limited or no experience playing in external competitions. Children play in small teams in a mixture of singles and doubles matches against others of a similar age/level over 2-3hrs. Members, as well as teams from local Clubs, are all welcome to join in and events are held once a term.

National League

Team Tennis is a singles & doubles based team competition for registered venues with events for juniors and adults, played over summer and winter that BSLTC teams play across Hertfordshire, usually 4-6 matches in the season where matches are played at home and away. Team Captains organise matches in the National League, please look at the Junior Teams page for further information. If your child is interested in participating please speak to their coach or email Natalie.

LTA Tournaments

We have a number of juniors who participate in LTA Tournaments, to improve their ratings and gain experience. Have a look HERE for further information and how to book places.
