Climb the ratings ladder at Windsor (From Penarth Times)

Climb the ratings ladder at Windsor

TWO VERY successful ratings days were held at Windsor tennis club (Evenlode Avenue) during the half-term holiday for players in Division 6 and 7 to improve their ratings by playing (and winning) against boys and girls of a similar standard or better.

It was good to welcome players from Cardiff, Dinas Powys, Whitchurch and Penarth. It was especially good to see so many girls on court!

Despite the occasional downpour and very blustery conditions on the Friday, some exciting matches were played and special mention should be made of Cal Rowlands at eight years the youngest player, who played with great tenacity, gained some valuable match experience and gave some of the older players a good run for their money!

Box leagues for all juniors are starting soon - if you haven't signed up - please contact Rob Cunningham as soon as possible.

The aim is to keep playing competitively through the winter - there will be prizes!

Junior morning continues to run on Saturdays with coaching available for all age groups.

Non-members are very welcome - whether you've played before or not! Last Saturday saw 45 children on court between 10am - 12.30pm who had a really fantastic morning with lots of tennis and loads of fun.

There will be a coffee morning for all junior parents on Saturday, November 16 from 10.30am - come down and find out what we have in store for the juniors over the next few months and share your ideas. New members are very welcome.
