Junior Tennis

We have some 170 junior members in the Club with an age range of 3 years to 18 years. Many of our junior members take part in the coaching programme which caters for all ages and levels from mini red, mini orange, mini green to traditional yellow ball squads.

For more information on what sessions are available, please see the junior and mini tennis coaching sections.

Satellite Club

Pavilion & Avenue Tennis Club is one of only 5 ‘satellite’ clubs in Sussex. ‘Satellite’ status is awarded by the LTA to clubs which run their coaching programme to a high level and follow the LTA’s guidelines on mini tennis up to traditional yellow ball.

Our programme has many juniors competing in various competitions and has helped players achieve County, Regional and National standards.

Clubmark Status

The Club also has ‘Clubmark’ status which is a mark of excellence awarded by a sports club’s governing body, for us the LTA, in recognition of following many guidelines concerning club management, coaching and especially those concerning child protection.

Competition

Juniors can take part in their own competitions including mini red, orange, green and yellow ball events plus box leagues run for all those players looking for extra match play opportunities.

During the February half term, the Club hosts the ‘Pav & Ave Junior Open’ which is a grade 3 tournament and attracts players from out of county as well as many of our own juniors taking part and during the summer, the Club’s Closed Championships take place.
