Junior Coaching

Woodbridge Community Tennis Partnership (WCTP)

The future of Woodbridge Tennis Club firmly falls on the clubs’ junior players. With approximately 250 children, across a range of ages enrolled on coaching programmes, it is no surprise that the clubs young members are the lively core of the club.

• Through the dedicated Woodbridge Tennis Club coaching team, headed by Jon Mansfield, we continue to deliver a quality coaching programme in and around the Woodbridge and Melton area.
• Thousands of children in the area have had a racket put in their hand for the first time.
• There are over 250 children in the clubs coaching programme. Every week of the term schools are visited and those children showing potential are invited to Woodbridge Tennis Club for coaching.
• Squad structure incorporates a larger age range of players. Performance players can receive additional individual coaching, and links with High Performance Centres in Ipswich complement our programme.
• Some of our youngsters have been accepted into the LTA national training squads. We have had success in competition at red, orange, green and yellow level, and many mini-tennis winners in Suffolk are Woodbridge players.
• Woodbridge Tennis Club supports British Tennis Membership and has currently over 150 juniors signed up to the LTA initiative. Go to www.lta.org.uk/britishtennismembership
