Junior Tennis

The Club has a large junior section and we actively promote junior tennis through our coaching programme, junior club nights, junior competitions and box leagues. Juniors are also encouraged to obtain LTA ratings and teams are entered into the Herts League in both the summer and winter. 

Junior Coaching

All tennis coaching is managed and delivered through our coaching partner, Berkhamsted Tennis Fit (BTF), run by Tyrell Diaz Stevens who has worked closely with the Club for over 10 years.

Tyrell and his team of experienced coaches run a full coaching programme at the Club for juniors of all ages and abilities, every day of the week. Junior holiday camps run during the school holidays.

Coaching is available on a 1-1 basis or in group sessions.

Junior Box League

We are delighted to announce that as of November 2021, we have launched our new junior box league!
