From September we are launching the first of the new squad sessions which will run alongside the current programme. The purpose of these sessions is to recognise the effort put in so far by those selected and help them develop further in the company of a likeminded group.

The squads will be invitational for children who are competing already in LTA competition (typically holding their own in lower grade competition and attempting higher grade competition if entry allows) or would be interested in doing so in the future as well as playing on a local level against other clubs.

Getting the balance for these squads is very important and any player deciding to join will be required to work well in a team as well as being self motivated to work hard.

Initially the squad sessions will be 1 hour long, will be run by Head Coach Matt EVANS and this will be reviewed at the end of the year. It is recommended that all children invited also attend another group session and/or private lesson weekly and play socially with others in the squad (or others of a similar standard) at least once a week.

We will need a minimum of 4 players to run and the maximum in a squad will be 6.
