We have a particularly successful junior section, catering for most standards up to county level. Group coaching is provided free throughout the summer (May-July). The boys are coached on Friday evenings 6 -7 p.m., the girls on Friday evenings 7-8 p.m. Selected juniors are coached 6-7 p.m. Sunday evenings. All groups are in the charge of qualified LTA coaches (Mark Winship, Dave Winship and Paul Flood). 
Saturday morning is the junior club morning - a very popular feature! The games are supervised by Dave Winship, with assistance from the older juniors. Click here for more details! The juniors (as well as the seniors) make the most of the 'next day' stringing service, particularly during the summer tournament season. Teams are entered in the Berkshire Junior League.

Child Protection PolicyWe aim to create an enjoyable environment for all juniors who wish to take part in tennis, other sport and social activities at the club. We emphasise that young people have the right to be safe, secure and free from threat. We also acknowledge that young people have the right to be treated with respect and for their concerns to be listened to and acted upon.The club strives to ensure that junior members have specific programmes and facilities designated for them, with adequate supervision. There are procedures in place to help any young person who requests help and support on a confidential basis, in issues relating to Child Protection. All coaches, coaching assistants and volunteers working with young people are either licensed coaches or have signed the club self declaration form in relation to Child Protection. They are all aware of and apply the LTA Code of Conduct for Those Working with Children in Tennis. The club has an adult member who is specifically responsible for young people. This person�s name is Dave Winship. Back to top
