• Juniors

  •         Pit Farm Tennis Club operates an extensive and varied junior section.

     

    Junior membership is for boys and girls of 8 years and above. We have an active and organised junior programme for all standards of play, which is so popular that currently there is a waiting list for junior membership.

    Between mid-April and the end of September - excluding August and one week in July when the club holds the annual open junior tournament - juniors from 8 to 16 have their own dedicated club sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For these group-coaching sessions, which are organized by the club coach, Voytek Sarama, they have use of all 6 courts from 4.00pm to 6.00pm. Voytek and his team of ‘tennis assistants’ provide coaching for juniors attending these sessions, at no extra charge.

    We also have 3 junior development squads for better players on Saturday mornings between 9.00am and 1.30pm. These ‘tournament-level’ juniors receive more game-based, tactics and strategy coaching from Voytek, but there is a quarterly squad fee charged which is currently £39. 

    Squad players have access to singles and doubles competition in intra-club box leagues and tournaments, such as the annual club junior tournament and the ‘Road to Wimbledon’, as well as county competitions like the Surrey summer and winter postal tournaments.
