At St Leonards and St Ives Tennis Club we offer Match Play sessions on Sundays.

We welcome boys and girls in these sessions. The session is coach supervised throughout to ensure fair play and to create a positive experience when playing. The coach will also discuss singles tactics and give individual feedback.

We have four levels in our Sunday Match Play sessions:

• Match Play 1 - for advanced singles players - 13-18yrs - 6.00-8.00pm alternate Sundays.
• Match Play 2 - for good singles players - 13-18yrs - 6.00-8.00pm alternate Sundays.
• Match Play 3 - for developing singles players - 11-15yrs - 4.00-6.00pm alternate Sundays.
• Match Play 4 - for less experienced singles players - 11-15yrs - 4.00-6.00pm alternate Sundays.

Match Play is the perfect addition to a player's lessons and coaching sessions. It enables players to put into practice tactics and techniques they have learnt. The Match Play sessions are competitive with the results recorded. 

Prizes are awarded each half term to the winner of each of the four matchplay levels and for the player showing most improvement in each matchplay level. 

Along with the competitive element of Match Play we teach the rules and etiquette of tennis, which is just as important as the playing itself. We encourage our players to play honestly and show good sportsmanship throughout. 

Above all else we want everyone to enjoy playing whether they win or lose. Competing can be stressful, but playing in an environment where a player is comfortable with people they know is a big advantage and will help them gain confidence in match situations.

Our Match Play sessions are £10.00 for Members and £14.00 for Non Members for each two hour session.
