CompetitionAll Futures and Performance players must be British Tennis members and compete in the ladder. A target number of matches are set per term and the results are sent to the LTA.Parent /Junior SubscriptionTo support the TJDP this new category of membership has been made available for non-member parents of juniors up to age 10. This allows parents to come along and practice with their youngsters. It gets the Novels playing at times over and above the squad, a substantial amount of the sub. goes to the tennis junior development fund to help keep costs down and you get some excercise and fresh air! This sub only allows the parent(s) to play with their youngster(s) and vice versa. In other words your kid cannot come along and play with their mate who is a junior member in her own right - unless they get prior permission from me, and pay a visitors fee of £1. Mum and Dad would need to pay the current visitor fee if playing with anyone other than their youngster. Open only to parents with kids in the Tennis Junior Development Programme. Contact Tam Bruce if interested. Adult ImproversClasses run throughout the year in the term time of the junior development programme.This is a 'pay and play' session where regular attendance and keenness are more important than full time commitment. It is also a great way to end the working week and start the weekend. Sessions: Fridays 6.30-8.00 pm (possibly 6.00-7.00 and 7.00-8.00 dependant on numbers) Contact:Tam BruceTelephone: 0131 667 1215 Email: tennis@waverleysports.co.uk |
