Play Your Way to Wimbledon gives players all over the country the opportunity to compete at their local venue and enjoy a fun day of Wimbledon-inspired tennis! The winners will have the chance to compete at the County/Area Finals and then onto the National Finals at the All England Club. But it begins with you at the venue stage, and you can create a fun experience for all players – think strawberries and cream, Wimbledon-themed decorations, Pimms (for the adults) and music!
