Tennis
Tennis is a major sport for the girls and a minor sport for the boys in the Summer Term.
Tennis options
The girls are taught tennis in 3rd and 4th year as part of their games programme and can opt to continue the sport in 5th, 6th and 7th year on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon. The boys may also choose to do tennis in 5th, 6th and 7th year, although cricket takes priority in junior years.
Regular matches
There are four girls’ junior teams and three senior teams who play regular matches against other independent and boarding schools. Each team also plays in several tournaments throughout the season. The senior boys’ fixture list is developing and the standard of tennis is going from strength to strength.
Trip to Wimbledon
The team players enjoyed their annual trip to Wimbledon in 2009 seeing some excellent centre court play, watching their role models in action. A great end to the season!
Winter training programme
A winter tennis training programme also runs to develop skills off season to ensure a good start to the season that follows.
