This session will consist of doubles' tactics and match-play to help you with your matches and general play in doubles and is open to all team players. Please book on via the events page as spaces will be limited for this session.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NOAH

A big congratulations to Noah (pictured above) who has recently started competing in Men’s events at the young age of 14 - winning the two events he has entered so far, beating the number 1 seed in the final of both events at Riverside and Sutton.

He also represented Hertfordshire at the 12 Counties event on December 22, helping the team go undefeated against three counties - Bucks, Essex and Middlesex. A great achievement from him and looking forward to more success in 2025!

TENNIS SCHOOL AND ADULT GROUPS RESTARTING

A reminder that coach led Adult socials will restart on Wednesday, January 8 - 7pm-9pm and Saturday, January 11 - 2pm-4pm, and the full Tennis School and Adult Group programme will restart from Monday, January 13, 2025.

TENNIS COURT RESURFACING

As per the comms that went out just before Christmas, we have a confirmed start date, subject to the weather, of Monday, January 20, 2025 for the resurfacing of tennis courts 1 to 6. As well as putting a new synthetic turf surface onto these courts – Tiger Turf Advantage Pro, the same type of surface as we have on courts 1-3 and recently on courts 7-9 – we will also be installing a new regulating asphalt layer across all six courts (under the synthetic turf) to achieve a robust and even base. We will do one block of three courts independently of the other, therefore we will lose a maximum of three courts at any one time.

Our contractor has asked us to block 4-6 out for five weeks (January 20-February 21) and then block courts 1-3 out for 6 weeks (February 24 - April 4). This gives us contingency in case of poor weather but we hope to improve on these timescales. We will keep MyCourts updated with court availability. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

SQUASH UPDATE

The Club Squash and Racketball tournament will take place in April, 2025. All players are welcome.

We are delighted to confirm squash courts 1 and 2 will be refurbished next week - details to follow.

Head coach Lee Rossiter will be organising more squash and racketball social tournaments in 2025.

RLTSC MERCH

Check out our range of club merchandise and items including branded RLTSC gilets, waterproof jackets, beanie hats, sweatbands and sports bottle and holders to beat the winter weather. More details are available at the online shop.
