Summer American Tournament

Our next American tournament is the summer event, scheduled for Sunday 28th June - see the flyer below for more information and get your entry into Jane if you would like to try your luck.

These are very sociable events, with a mixed standard of play, and entrants are paired in a random draw to keep matches as even as possible.

Coaching

As you may recall from previous updates, we now have access to a professional coach, and he has offered to run both group coaching sessions and 1to1 coaching for club members. His name is Josh Brown and he is a fully qualified Level 4 LTA coach. If you are interested in improving your game, you can contact Josh direct to arrange a session - contact details from Jan or David.

We are planning to run a second programme of group coaching in late June and early July, this time on a Friday night. If you are interested in joining in the sessions, particularly those who couldn’t make the Thursday nights, let Jan know and she will add you to the coaching WhatsApp group.

Club Tournaments

All the tournaments are underway now, so if you haven't yet played your first round match, don't delay, get a date in the diary today. It's up to YOU to organise the match; don't leave it to others if nothing is happening! The first two rounds of matches should all be played by the end of June.

A summary of the Tournament rules have been shared on the WhatsApp group and the full Tournament rules for match play can be found on the Matches page on the website.

Please email your results to the Tournament Organiser, Sue Leonard at susanleonard@sky.com

Club Matches

We have arranged 8 friendly matches so far, with the possibility of a few more to follow. We need four players per team for each of the matches so, if you are interested in getting involved, please contact Kuniko Sato for the Ladies Doubles and Brian Keegan for the Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

Results are going reasonably well so far, with two wins over Hayes in the Men’s Doubles, a draw with Bromley in the Mixed, and a loss to Sundridge Park, again in the Mixed. The return match for that one is in mid-July.

Meanwhile, the next home fixture is a Ladies match against Sundridge Park on Tuesday 30th June. Please be aware that the courts will be unavailable to members from 10am to 2pm.

Further contact details are available on the Matches page of the website, together with an up to date fixture list, with dates and venues.
