junior members
The Fairplay Tennis Club has an active and strong junior section catering for all ages and abilities. Group and individual lessons are available to all junior members of the Club from age 4 years upwards.
We actively encourage juniors to participate in both Club and external competitions for developing good junior players. A Performance Development Programme is in place to ensure that juniors reach their full potential.
We run junior squads from red ball (Under 8s) through to Under 18s.
Our junior ethos is based on fun, enjoyment and inclusion.
Tennis is a fantastic sport, which can be played and enjoyed for a lifetime. The physical and psychological benefits for kids, particularly those who start playing at an early age are immense; and once conquered, they can take this multi-faceted skill wherever they go. That’s why our junior tennis programme recognises the importance of introducing tennis in the early years and focuses on nurturing children appropriately as they grow.
There is no doubt that children love to play tennis and are naturally competitive. We have worked hard to ensure our junior tennis programme reflects this and will make sure that all kids on the programme are presented with the correct ways to grow physically and mentally.
We now offer junior tennis Intensive so children can keep improving throughout the school holidays. It is two hours per day of structured coaching that works on technical and tactical themes that will really speed their improvement.
Tennis is a reasonably simple sport and taught well, it requires just a little concentration and a good learning environment. It’s also an individual and competitive sport so by playing, children will naturally learn the values of sportsmanship including discipline, competitive spirit, self-respect, fairness, respect for others, diligence and commitment.
