We have made it through the first ever winter season under the floodlights!
The club's offering has grown substantially and we are ready to welcome the warmer weather & lighter evenings.
We have plenty to look forward to this summer with club events and competitions, which are all in the planning, details of which will be released very soon.
There is plenty already going on to get involved in.

The camps utilise fun games and team matches, focusing on the 4 performance areas of tennis:
- Mental

Children are welcome to bring friends along to enjoy the fun and the what the club has to offer.
Our trusted Assistant Coaches groups are now split by age and ability so please do contact Tom if you have any questions.
CALLING ALL GIRLS
Prime Video & the LTA initiative
Head Coach Tom was selected as 1 of the first 250 coaches in the UK to help drive participation in girls' tennis. The initiative between Prime Video and the LTA has been brought by Emma Raducanu's historic US Open victory in 2021 and fulfils Prime Video's promise to reinvest the funds from sharing the broadcast of the final with Channel 4, into British Women's Tennis.
The programme focuses on creating an environment that motivates girls to play and stay in tennis. LTA research identified that girls want to play with friends in a fun and pressure-free setting, with relatable coaches who can build confidence and drive enjoyment.
These classes include: 6 weeks of group coaching, a free tennis racket, a can of balls, a T-Shirt and wristbands for only £35 these can only be booked here - www.clubspark.lta.org.uk/TomScottCoaching/Prime-LTA-Girls

JOIN CLUB TEAMS
Henley Tennis Club has several teams that compete on various weekends in the winter and summer. We are now approaching the summer season and are looking for additional players....
Over the winter our Oxfordshire Men's A team just missed out on promotion to premier division, Berkshire Men also missed out on promotion by fine margins, our Women gained their first win and our new Oxfordshire Men's B team won their division.
For the upcoming season, we have entered two Berkshire Men’s teams, meaning we now have 4 Men’s teams and one Women’s team. There are 4 Berkshire team fixtures (2 home & 2 away) and we are keen to find players for these teams.
We have Mixed Team Training run by Tom on Monday from 5:45pm to 7pm and then two further Team doubles sessions running on Monday 7pm-9pm (Men) and Friday 6:15pm-8pm (Women)
If you wish to represent the club and find out more information, please contact Tom or email Club Captain Jeremy Wright.
Get ready for the summer season!
There is plenty of group coaching available for our members to enjoy whether you are just starting, returning from a break, wanting to develop your game to take on the club sessions, get into a team or just improve your general game.
These sessions are currently on a half termly basis from Sunday 16th April.
To sign up, simply join one of the following WhatsApp group invitations:
Our Juniors have been training hard throughout the winter and we are excited that Sebastian Sheldon has been selected to represent Oxfordshire for next county cup event on the 29th/30th April.
This is a great achievement for Sebastian and our coaching program. All of our Juniors have been training at the club after school (or sometimes before) to get as much practice as they can. Sebastien has been travelling a lot to get as much tournament time as possible.
A big Well Done! to Sebastian, parents, the coaching team and all the junior squad players.
