We encourage RSA players to compete in internal and external events. For our beginner and improving players we recommend the Tennis Grand Prix.

The Tennis Grand Prix series is primarily designed for beginner and improving junior players, who may have only competed within internal home venue competitions. The focus of the GP series is on broadening the competitive environment of players in a very friendly and social regular way. Please  take a look at their website for more details.

For our improving and advanced players we encourage putting thier skills to the test in LTA graded events. Playing against other players of a similar level is one of the best ways to improve skills and will give you the best match practice. For more information and support for parents/carers visit the LTA Competitions page here
