Coaching

LTA Youth Compete

The LTA has three main focuses for helping you make the most out of competing in junior tennis. For more information click on the links below: 

  1. Team challenge - a great way to introduce kids to tennis competitions at their local clubs; fun, friendly, and no serious scoring with the benefits of team socialising
  2. Matchplay - perfect for your first individual competition, or getting some extra match practice in
  3. Local Tour - the quick-scoring junior tennis tournament

Whatever your level, we’re here to help you start competing in junior tennis tournaments at your own pace.

Your competition age group is determined by your year of birth – this applies to both juniors (8U - 18U) and seniors (35+).  

To find out what your competiton age is, and what tournemnts you should enter visit the following link.

There are different grade of competitons starting at Grade 7: 

  • Grade 7 - These are competitions taking place at your local venue - including box leagues, ladders, club championships or any other recorded matches.
  • Grade 6 - Perfect for anyone who has never played in a competition before and is new to tennis or experienced players.
  • Grade 5 - If you’re a club, local or county player looking to compete in your first rankings tournament – these are the competitions for you.
  • Grade 4 - These tournaments are for players who consistently get strong results at Grade 5 events and want to test themselves on the next level.
  • Grade 3 - If you’re winning or performing well at Grade 4 events then these tournaments are a great way to take your game up a level.
  • Grade 2 - These competitions are for players who continue to get great results at Grade 3 events and are playing at a regional or national level.
  • Grade 1 - These events are highest graded competitions we run for the top players in the country – competing at national or international level.
