The tennis festival at Launceston was held on Monday August 4, the event was a big success with more players competing than ever before. The mini red winner was Agatha Creasey and the starter competition winner was Thomas Boundy. With assistant coach Rachel Stacey now on board it is hoped that the winter festival will see even

more players in attendance, Rachel will be coaching mini tennis on a Thursday evening at the club from September onwards.

The aim for January 2010 will be to introduce an elite squad which as head coach I will be inviting players to attend that have a LTA Rating of a 9.2 or an equivalent playing standard. The group will be introduced to raise playing standards and all pupils selected must be competing on a regular basis and will have the chance to gain access to private tuition in addition to their squad.

Exciting times lie ahead and 2010 will see the Junior Davis cup come to Launceston with all Junior club members able to take part, September will see the start of more Junior and Adult courses running so enrolments and payments are know due to book your place, James Brobin (mob 07881 583 971).
