Hi and welcome to our Youth Team Tennis page. Our philosophy is to develop junior players, of all ages from 6-18 so that they are able to play tennis to their best ability level and to the point where they are able to represent their club in various team based competitions e.g. LTA National Youth League and our own newly developed South Suffolk/North Essex (SSNE) Team Tennis League. 

We are particularly excited about the creation of our SSNE Youth Team Tennis League as we believe that artificial barriers that hamper competition opportunities such as overly zealous age restrictions should be reduced in order to enourage maximum participation.

Consequenlty, we have pioneered the creation of a brand new youth league that uses broad eligibility criteria (stage not age) plus simple adaptations to encourage players with limited experience to participate. We currently have teams participating in the following categories:

• RED - (9 and under)
• ORANGE (10 and under)
• GREEN (12 and under)
• YELLOW (14 and under)
• YELLOW (16 and under)
• YELLOW (18 and under)

We know from research that players who compete regularly tend to accelerate their development and stay involved with the sport for longer. We very much want our juniors to become lifelong tennis players and hence our league has been developed with other grassroots clubs who share our values and believe that being part of a local club team offers a more nurturing and fun way to get involved with competitive tennis.

We are always on the lookout for new players, so to find out more about our leagues and how you can get involved, click on Youth Team Tennis or simply get in touch via the Contact Us form
