Senior Students Competition
Team Tennis Schools is a programme of three nationally organised competitions, which provides Further Education and Secondary School students with the opportunity to play regular competitive tennis and to represent their school.
All competitions begin locally and culminate in a national final. Responsibility for organising these competitions lies with the LTA and The Tennis Foundation.
The ‘Senior Students’ competition is particularly well positioned for Further Education students, as it covers the school years 11-13. The aim of this competition is to encourage lower rated players to play competitive tennis and provide the team with an opportunity to compete in a national final.
The entry period is in September with local league matches being played October through to December. Winners of the local leagues progress through to the knockout rounds from January, with the national final taking place in March. There are three events to enter; boys, girls and mixed.
The boys and girls events require four players with the format being four singles and two doubles rubbers. The mixed event requires two boys and two girls in a team with the format being four doubles rubbers.
