Have you entered your venue into this year’s *HSBC Road To Wimbledon Competition*?
The competition is open to LTA registered venues, as well as Schools - there are separate events for girls and boys.

This is a competition to inspire and engage your 14&U members/pupils. The venue organiser has the discretion to choose the format relevant to your venue, however, we recommend the event is held over half, one or two days to give a focus to the event and a fun social experience for the players. The entry fee is £15 for the girls or boys event, or £25 total if entering both the girls and boys events. Payment to be made online at time of entry.
Venues must stage their events between 1 April - 12 June, if you stage your event early and return your winner form by 17th May you will be entered into a draw to win £150 of Wimbledon merchandise!
