Dear Members with children and Junior Members
Following on from the Sunday afternoons sessions that were initiated back in the summer of 19 (last summer of course not possible due to COVID) I am writing with an update on the reintroduction of Junior Social Sundays from 30th May.
So we can guage numbers on the day please book your children online HERE
Courts booked 3-5pm last Sunday of each month
All 3 courts have been reserved for the Junior Social Sunday from 3-5pm 30 May and on the last Sunday of each month throughout the rest of the summer. Please put the following dates in your diary - 3-5pm 26 June, 25 July, 29 Aug, 26 Sept.
The aim of the sessions is to get the children out playing tennis, having fun, meeting new faces and making friends. Of course, also a great opportunity for adult members to get to know new faces also.
Even if your child is not a Junior member, please bring them along if they wish to play, the aim of the session is to get them into tennis with a view that they may enjoy themselves and want to take up tennis at the right time (hopefully at WSTC).
Tennis formats
Given there will be a range of abilities, we would hope to arrange the session as follows:
The idea is that the parents will help with looking after their children (depending on age category) and be around to oversee generally, collect balls etc.
We can’t be too prescriptive with the exact format without knowing the numbers who will likely turn up, so we will be flexible and assess what makes most sense on the day. There will be running about the court in some fashion getting exercise and hopefully enjoying themselves.
What to bring on the day
Tennis gear, water bottles and any snacks that you feel they would need to eat over a 2 hour period. Parents or guardians are asked to help on court, so please bring your tennis racket and appropriate gear.
BBQ
The BBQ and coals will be available for those wishing to use it.
COVID
The club’s COVID Rules are available on the club’s website. We hope the rules will change over the Summer, but of course we will need to operate within those guidelines for the moment. Presently, the club is restricted to 30 people under Government rules. Please can we ask that only 1 adult attends with their child. We are therefore (for this session while these restrictions are in place) only allowing the first 30 children & parents to join this time.
Many thanks indeed and we look forward to seeing you on 30 May at 3-5pm!

Tennis formats
Given there will be a range of abilities, we would hope to arrange the session as follows:
- On Court 1, so they can hit using regular balls , the more advanced Junior players will get so do some drills and play some games in a format to be determined based on the numbers and turn-out.
- On Courts 2 and 3, we would run tennis drills, tennis games and other skills based (hopefully fun) activities. We have 2 junior nets and can use the introduction Red balls for early learners and, for the more advanced children, the Orange balls.
The idea is that the parents will help with looking after their children (depending on age category) and be around to oversee generally, collect balls etc.
