Tennis & Education Open Day

We would like to invite you to attend our very first tennis and education open day on March 15th at 4pm.  

We have secured partnerships with new educational partners which means that we are able to provide a free tennis provision for players aged 16-18 and as well as academy flexibility all the way through to university.  Although UEL is our main partner, we need to stress that all pathways do not have to lead there and in fact American universities are definitely considered to be one of the routes.

A Level 2/3 Coach is required in the Colchester Area.  

This Friday, Valentine’s Day, will be the official launch day of the “AE HEART START GRANT” and our first machines will be delivered to Essex clubs.

 

Congratulations to the Essex Senior Ladies in the National Indoor Championships.

It was a young team at the 12 counties and the girls had some tough fought matches but were unable to defeat Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire.

This is the first year Essex have entered this event and the team where a little nervous but got off to a flying start.

Entry has now opened for the Grade 4 Chelmsford Junior Tennis Association Postal Tournament sponsored by Pope & Smith

There are some exciting changes for 2014

  • For the first time the tournament will be a Grade 4 with Ranking points available for the whole tournament not just the finals.
  • We have extended our catchment area to players who are members of Clubs situated within a 25 mile radius of Chelmsford’s Shire Hall.
  • We are now able to accept online entries via the LTA Competition site, click on the link or search for ESS14S0375 Pope & Smith Chelmsford Junior Postal.
  • The tournament starts and finishes within the 2014 Summer season – main draw and consolation.
  • First round matches will be issued ready for the competition to commence on the 1st April 2014.
  • The Main Draw Finals will be held at the start of the summer holidays on Saturday 19th July 2014 – venue to be confirmed.
  • The Consolation Finals will be held on Saturday 23rd August 2014 – venue to be confirmed.
