TENNIS UPDATE:

Junior Performance players excel

A huge well done to some of our newest Performance Mini Red players — Rish, Bianca, Aurelia and Ana.

All four have recently attended Herts Tennis Red County trial sessions and have absolutely excelled. We’ve received some fantastic feedback from the Head of Herts Junior County Tennis, which is a brilliant recognition of their hard work, attitude and potential.

They’re definitely four players to keep an eye on in the future!
