Schools Competitions

A Schools Tennis Competition Framework has been developed to provide simple, inclusive and progressive schools competition opportunities. There are two categories of Schools Tennis Competitions, National and Local and there is a strong emphasis on Team Tennis across all events.

There are three AEGON Team Tennis Schools competitions, catering for a range of age groups and abilities (within secondary schools & colleges of further education), all in national finals. Responsibility for managing these events lies centrally with the LTA and The Tennis Foundation, with assistance from local organisers.

The three events are:

• The Year 8 & Under and Year 10 & Under Competition
• The Senior Students Competition
• The National Schools Championships

2. Local Competitions:

A priority for schools competition is to increase the amount of local, entry-level competitive tennis opportunities available through schools. There are many different types of inter and intra school competitions that can be run in schools and the Schools Tennis Competition Guide has been developed to assist in making this as easy as possible. Working closely with the Youth Sport Trust, a priority Year 3&4 primary school competition has been developed to engage the Competition Manager network (England).

Resources:

The Schools Tennis Competition Guide is an interactive CD-Rom, which has been designed to make the process of running Schools Competition as easy as possible. It has been distributed to all 225 Competition Managers in England.

• Download electronic versions of all the resources contained within the Schools Tennis Competition Guide and for more information on how to order your copy.
