Junior Newsletter Summer 2025

Dear Member,

With the sun shining and the English summer just around the corner, we have some seasonal updates in the world of OC juniors.

Club Champs - the warm up for Wimbledon starts here! The OC Club Championships take place from June 14th to June 28th for U12s to U18s, and on finals day Saturday June 28th for U8s, U9s and U10s. To make sure you are in the draw just get in touch with Alex (alexheathtennis@gmail.com)

Surrey League - our OC Juniors have been doing well at all ages in the Surrey League. Special mention goes to the U12s boys team who showed great determination and nerve to battle through over 2 hours of on-court action on one of the hottest days of the year to bring home a 2-1 victory over Sheen. Well done Monty and Phoenix!

Friendly matches - it's not all about the winning, taking part and having fun is the primary name of the game and we're pleased to say that many of the OC Juniors have been doing exactly that as part of a series of friendly matches with local clubs from Telford Park, Wigmore and Dulwich LTC. Special mention goes to the U12s girls Omaira and Koto who won both their singles and doubles matches against the boys from Telford last weekend. It's also been especially encouraging to see the U9s turn out in such numbers and get their first taste of matchplay!

Box Leagues - it's great to see so many of you participating in our OC Juniors box leagues but for those of you yet to get involved there are still a few weeks to get your matches played by June 8th and be in with a chance of getting promoted.

Summer Camps - camps will be running from July 7th to August 29th , with mini tennis sessions in the morning, and sessions for the 11-16yr olds in the afternoons, as well as a limited number of all day sessions. Snag a spot early by booking here: https://oldcollege.co.uk/holiday-camps

Trick Shot Challenge - as grass court season starts, we encourage you to revisit a Wimbo highlights reel from a trickshot titan, Nick Kyrios. See if you can pull off any of these audacious efforts, and please send us the evidence so we can include it next time around... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsuU7RlAaAg
