Events for Juniors

Junior Section

The club’s junior section membership currently stands at approximately 300.  We do not operate a waiting list, and strive to accommodate any child who is interested in playing tennis immediately.

Age is no barrier to membership, with all age groups between 4 and 18 years being catered for at the club.  Under 8’s usually start in our mini tennis section using small courts and slow ‘transition’ balls and then progress to the junior section ‘proper’  in due course (usually about 8 years of age).

Coaching groups are organised according to age and ability, and take place after school on weekdays during school term time.

Saturday mornings are dedicated exclusively to junior club play, where any junior may turn up and take part in organised, supervised competitive playing sessions split into two ability/age groups between 9am and 1pm each Saturday morning.  

Coaching is provided on a term-by-term basis, with the summer term’s cost being included in the yearly subscription fee, renewable each year.

The social side of the junior section is catered for by both the year-round Saturday morning junior play sessions and the once-monthly (in summer) Friday night ‘Club’nGrub’s, which mix games with food and fun between 7.30 and 10pm under floodlights. In addition, the club organises junior discos and barbecues.

The club fields boys and girls teams in the Chelmsford & District Junior League at U12, U14, U16 and U18 level. The club also runs in-house box league competitions and an internal Annual Junior Tournament. The club has a number of juniors currently involved in the Essex County program who train and compete at county-wide events.

Individual coaching is also available at the club.  The club currently has 4 licensed contracted coaches, whose photos and hourly charges are advertised in the clubhouse entrance hall.
