At Lansdown we place great emphasis on our Juniors. Junior members (aged 12 to 17) are entitled to play both Tennis and Squash and they can enter in our Junior box leagues to increase their tennis ratings.  We also have a specific junior club play times on Saturdays.

We try to encourage our Juniors to join in with Club life through Junior Club Play and tournaments. The annual Club Tennis tournament provides an opportunity for competitive play and we also enter a number of Junior Tennis teams in local and national leagues and competitions.

The cornerstone of our Junior programme is the Junior Tennis Academy which provides a full range of coaching and playing opportunities for youngsters between the ages of 4 and 17. Look at our coaching page for further details on the Academy.

Children under the age of 12 can become 'Junior player' members which gives them discounted coaching rates, the opportunity to enter our Junior tournaments and to attend our Junior socials. 'Junior player' members are not able to play tennis or squash on their own at the Club unless supervised by a Coach or Tennis Assistant. Children under 12 whose parents are members receieve free membership and can play at the Club with their parents. For membership prices please see the membership page.
