matchplay info for this weekend

Please check here BEFORE contacting Nick. Press 'Refresh' to be sure. We will always try to get Matchplay completed, even in poor weather. It is very rare that we have to cancel, but any weather updates will be posted here at least 30 minutes before the start.

Matchplay must be booked online through Clubspark, unless your child has credits remaining from the previous payment system, in which case please email/text Nick to book your place.

Please ensure children's tennis shoes are COMPLETELY free of mud and dirt,  especially on the soles. Children MUST NOT walk or play on any muddy/grassy land before going onto the courts. Respecting this will help reduce the slipperiness of the courts when wet, and in turn reduce the risk of slips and falls, and any injuries that they cause.

If numbers don't work out to give everyone a doubles game, then usually those that signed up latest will miss out on doubles. You can also request not to play doubles when signing up.

Doubles will use sudden death deuce, and players are expected to use  traditional formations with net players so they can work on their volley skills! At deuce, the next point wins the game, and the receiving team can nominate who the server serves to.

All players are expected to respect fair play, their opponents, and their  surroundings. Players mindset should be to enjoy themselves and have fun! 

Players must have a ball in their pocket ready for 2nd serve should they miss their first serve. The opponent is allowed to claim the point should a player not have a 2nd ball ready after a missed first serve!
