"My children have improved in both technique and attitude, and they always come off court with a smile on their face. The coaches really care." - Louise Hutchison, Feb '11

Whether it's fun social tennis, competitive matches in the Local or National leagues, or simply a great place to meet up with their friends in a safe environment (the Clubhouse is a great place to relax and watch sport on our large screen Sky TV), play some table tennis/basketball/football and join in social events, we welcome juniors of all standards.

Parent Quote:

"[The half-term] tournament was organised to the highest standard I have ever experienced in taking my son to tennis tournaments. The referee and his assistant were covering six courts all of the time and were very thorough, proactive and sensitive in their refereeing. The quality of the tennis experience was of the highest standards as a result of their actions. Also the gentleman who administered the event, meticulously kept to the timetable. The standard of refereeing and administration of the Halton tournament should be benchmarked for best practice by the LTA. It was a pleasure to see junior tennis played in a properly refereed, competitive and enjoyable environment "
