Juniors
The junior section is well organised with the Bourne tennis committee actively committed and the Head Coach and the coaching team taking a very active part. Coaching and tennis development is crucial for all juniors and the Bourne Club offers an extensive programme of group coaching (click on the link to download our Junior weekly programme), one-to-one coaching, LTA performance rating, competitive leagues and knockout competitions.
All juniors, from tiny-tots through to the LTA colour-coded Red, Orange, Green for age-levels U8, U9, U10 and onto the older juniors in age groups U12, U14, U16, U18, are catered for.
We run leagues at the club for youngsters to play competitively against each other, and also external inter-club leagues and knockout competitions.
We have junior dedicated organisers on the tennis committee to oversee the younger juniors and older juniors and parent captains to look after the junior teams.
The Bourne Club is committed to the well being of junior tennis and cognisant of the fact that the future of British tennis lies entirely within the development and success of Britain’s juniors from the moment they are able to swing a tennis racquet.
The coaching of our juniors is based on a fun enjoyment ethos that engenders willingness for juniors to take part, but becomes necessarily more focussed as juniors gain ability and display their increasing skills. It is quite interesting, to say the least, to see our advanced 14 year old juniors take on the men’s A and B team members in the club’s annual tennis championships!
