Junior Tennis at Northfields
Junior Tennis at Syston Northfields
At Syston Northfields Tennis Club, our junior programme is all about helping children enjoy tennis, build confidence, and feel proud of what they can achieve.
We welcome young players of all ages and abilities — from complete beginners to those who want to compete and progress. Our aim is to create a fun, friendly and supportive environment where children can learn, make friends, and develop a lifelong love of the game.
Coaching & Development
Junior coaching at Syston Northfields is delivered by the expert team at Rise Up Racket Sports, who specialise in creating positive, inclusive learning environments.
Sessions focus on:
• Building confidence
• Learning skills at the right pace
• Developing coordination and movement
• Making tennis fun and engaging
• Encouraging teamwork and respect
Children are grouped appropriately by age and stage, helping them feel comfortable and supported as they learn.
Playing, Socialising & Competing
There are lots of ways for juniors to get involved beyond coaching sessions:
• Friendly internal competitions
• Junior matchplay opportunities
• Team tennis
• Social sessions
• Holiday activities and events
These give children the chance to practise their skills, make friends, and experience tennis in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
For Beginners
Many of our junior members start with no previous experience — and that’s absolutely fine.
We provide:
• Beginner-friendly sessions
• Supportive coaches
• Simple introductions to the game
• A relaxed, pressure-free environment
If you’re not sure where to start, we’re always happy to guide you.
Pathways for Progression
For children who want to play more regularly or competitively, we offer opportunities to progress through:
• Development squads
• Team tennis
• Friendly competitions
• League matches
• Performance-focused training
Progression is always based on readiness, confidence and enjoyment — not pressure.
Inclusive Junior Tennis
We are proud to be an inclusive club that welcomes children of all abilities. We work hard to ensure that every young player feels safe, supported and able to take part.
If your child has any additional needs or requirements, please get in touch — we’ll always do our best to help.

That’s completely normal.
