Tennis

A top-spinning revolution should be on the cards for Elstree tennis! We now have an ex- international player as master-in-charge, we have lots of boys whose favourite sport is tennis, we have all year round coaching, we have lots of boys in out-of-school junior academies such as Bradfield, and we now have nine new all weather courts.

Tennis is a game for life. Now is the time for these boys to drill their shots, fitness, agility and decision making to become “tennis players” rather than good games players giving it a go.

The obvious aim is for Elstree to gain a national reputation for creating top junior tennis players. That will take hard work from all concerned, but the platform is there.
