Juniors
We run a vibrant and active juniors programme at Marnhull Tennis Club for ages 5 to 16, including regular hitting practice and coaching. These sessions are led by Norma Amlot with support from John Seear, Helen Butler and our LTA-accredited coach Graham Howell. Check back regularly for news of school holiday coaching and events!
News of coaching and events are updated here as well as in emails to members. Please let us know if you wish to be added to the mailing list.
Marnhull Tennis Club operates a policy of 'age flexibility.' Although we include an age range for our juniors sessions as a rough guide, we are very happy to accommodate experienced younger players in the older coaching groups.

Juniors Tournament - August 13
Last year's juniors tournament was much enjoyed by everyone, so we've decided to hold it again this year! The event will take place from 4.00pm to 7.00pm on August 13 and is open to all junior members aged between 10-16 years old. There will be multiple matches over the course of the afternoon, culminating in a prize-giving ceremony.
Please let Norma Amlot know if your child would like to participate before August 8 via dnamlot@icloud.com or 07879 647559.
Inter-Club Competition - August 14
This year, we've introduced our first-ever Junior A Team, made up of some of the club's most talented young players. As part of this initiative, the A Team will be participating in a couple of mini tournaments with other local clubs in August.
The first match is scheduled to take place on August 14 against Donhead from 1.00pm to 3.00pm. We welcome all club members to come down to the courts to cheer along the team!
