DTA encourages our players to compete as much as they can because it's fun and also gives them a chance to further develop their skills. We start of the process of competing in our training sessions and then recommend that players join in our weekend matchplay sessions.

The weekend matchplay sessions are usually attended by our own players (new players are always welcome) and teaches them to score and some basic tactics. It also gives them a chance to practice their skills in a match situation. Once they have become familiar with the rules and are ready for the next challenge we recommend that they play some local area matches.

To be able to compete in different clubs they will need to have a British Tennis Membership which is free to members of tennis clubs(please visit www.lta.org.uk/membership) Once they have a British tennis membership they should ask their coach about which tournament would be best for them to enter.

Even though tennis is an individual sport as a club we do try to organise some team competitions and again ask your coach for details.
