NEW JUNIOR CLUB LADDER
Join the new Junior Club Ladder now - just send an email to Sarah to say you wish to join. Open to all juniors who can play a set of tennis on a full court. Don't just hit tennis balls, play competitive tennis and have fun playing short matches against other players in the club. At the end of the season (March) there will be a prize for the winner, runner-up and player who has played the most matches in the ladder. How does the ladder work? Once there are enough players entered, a ladder list will go up in the clubhouse (and website). Players can then challenge any player to a match if they are up to 3 places ahead or behind them in the ladder. If they win the match against a player higher in the ladder, then they swap places. You can play your 1 set (first to 6 games) matches whenever you like (including junior club nights if nobody's waiting to play) and you will then have to email your score to Sarah who will update the website version of the ladder and you can update the clubhouse version. Email Sarah now and put your name down for the Junior Ladder.

JUNIOR CLUB NIGHTS - Fridays 5.45-7pm
If you are aged between 9 -15 years, come along to play games/matches against other juniors on Friday nights (supervised by a coach but no coaching). It's free, and fun. You could play one of your junior ladder matches too if there is a court free and your opponent is willing. See you there on Fridays.

GROUP TENNIS COACHING - AUTUMN TERM
The list of players in the various coaching groups is now posted up in the clubhouse. If you missed out this time and would like to join a coaching group after half-term, please let Bash or Sarah know.

CLUB SHOP
Don't forget you can buy Cheriton Tennis Club Mini Tennis T-Shirts, and Red, Orange and Green tennis balls, from the Club Shop as well as other gear. See shop poster in clubhouse/website and ask Sarah or Bash if you wish to buy anything.
