Junior Tournaments

The club hosts an annual tournament for all members to enter and this isn't restricted to adults, we hold junior tournaments for red, orange, green and yellow ball players, meaning children from as young as 4 get the opportunity to take part in competitive, but fun, matches.

Devon County Selection

The Coaches at the club regularly liaise with Devon County Selectors and encourage those able to attend County Selection Festivals. It is not for everyone of course and is a huge commitment to both the kids and their families. 

See below images of Edward (recently from his trip to Weymouth)  and his sister Eleanor, both of which train from Tavistock and the Devonshire. They have been part of the County Set up for the last 3 years now. 

  

Plymouth & District Junior League

Every year we enter at least two teams in this league, which gives the opportunity for yellow ball players to take part in competitive matches, against players of similar age, from other tennis clubs in the local area.  The boys and girls play in mixed teams and take part in singles and doubles matches.  There are usually five or six teams in a division, playing home and away matches against each other. The matches run from April to July, usually on a Sunday morning.
