Rickmansworth Lawn Tennis Club (RLTC) are hoping to nurture the tennis stars of the future, with their ever-growing junior section.
Pippa Parkes, RLTC’s representative for junior development, commented: “RLTC now has over 200 junior members, with many involved in the coaching programmes. Many juniors, from Under 8 to Under 18, also compete for Hertfordshire and are playing in national tournaments.
“We run junior match play and social events at the club so all can get involved in competing, having fun and socialising in a safe, friendly space.”
She explained that one of RLTC’s mini members recently won an LTA grade 4 event, and 12 junior teams will be competing in the Hertfordshire Summer League this year.
The club are also proud to host two junior tournaments each year; the Rickmansworth LTA grade 3 week-long tournament in April and the Hertfordshire Junior County Closed Championships, which will take place from August 24 to 28.
The success of the junior programme also saw RLTC recognised as Hertfordshire LTA Club of the Year in 2024.
