KINGSLEY KIDS DESCEND ON WIMBLEDON!

Over the course of the Wimbledon fortnight, many players from the centre managed to get a taste of the live action at SW19. On one occasion, a group of 6 girls managed to go to the championships with backstage passes, allowing them an official tour of the grounds and centre court! On men's semi finals day, Head Performance Coach Oli Meager took two performance players to the championships. Oli said, 'It was a really great, inspiring day for the kids. It was great being on a filled Henman Hill, and a full court two to see the men's semis.' The children also got to see live Junior matches as well as wheelchair doubles.....Photos below

MORE FUN AND SUCCESS IN THE JUNIOR TEAM EVENT

The Junior Team Event held on the 22nd and 23rd December was again, a huge success. Once again, captain Robbie Peters and his team, this year 'Team Nadal' came out on top. They just about edged out 'Team Djokovic' by half a point, claiming victory at the last hurdle. The 2 afternoons consisted of Singles, Doubles, Three a side, sprint races, warm ups, warm downs, football and stretching, all of which contributed to the teams' scores. It was a fun-filled two days with lots of competitive action, bringing together all ages and standards within the Junior Program.

SUCCESS FOR ROBERTA!

Congratulations to Roberta Brandter, who on December 14th, won the Grade 4 Winter County Tournament in Kent. Her coach Oli Meager, said, 'It's fantastic to see Roberta performing so well after several weeks and months of hard work on many aspects of her game. The key for Roberta has been to focus on 1 or 2 positive goals per match, and to be able to tick the box is a great reward for her, and the win really is the icing on the cake!
