🎾 April at Sandal: Season Starts with a Bang

April is shaping up to be one of the busiest and most exciting months in the Sandal calendar, with competitions, leagues and social play all kicking into gear.

We move from winter into full summer mode — and there’s plenty for everyone to get involved in.

🌼 Easter Open & One-Day Tournament

The month begins with the Sandal Easter Open (29 March – 4 April), a week-long LTA Grade 4 tournament bringing a high standard of competitive tennis to the club.

Hot on its heels is our first One-Day Tournament on Easter Monday (6 April) — a fast-paced, social competition designed to get everyone back on court. Expect a fun but competitive afternoon, all wrapped up in around four hours.

🏆 Trophy Presentation – 12 April

We’ll be recognising recent achievements with the Winter Ladder and One-Day Tournament trophy presentation.

A great opportunity to celebrate winners, runners-up and some questionable line calls from the winter season.

🔄 Summer Ladders Begin – 6 April

The Summer Ladder Leagues officially launch on 6 April, running across 13 rounds through to October.

Singles, doubles and junior ladders will all be in play — so whether you’re ultra-competitive or just enjoy a structured hit, there’s a place for you.

🎾 LTA & League Tennis Returns

April also sees the return of regular competitive tennis:

• LTA North & Midlands East Tour events throughout the month

• Inter-club leagues starting mid-to-late April:

  • Wakefield Mixed League

  • Huddersfield League

  • Leeds Leagues

This is where things get serious — team selections, match nights and plenty of “we were robbed” stories incoming.

📝 Club Championships Open

Entries will open for the 2026 Club Championships, with matches beginning in early May.

If you’ve ever thought “I could win that” — now’s your moment.

🚀 Get Involved

April is all about momentum. Whether you want to:

• Compete

• Represent the club

• Climb the ladder

• Or just enjoy more time on court

There’s something happening every week.

Make sure you’re signed up, available, and ready — the season starts now.
