Mackintosh LTC – May Half Term Matchplay Day

During the May Half Term we will be running a LTA Youth Matchplay day at Mackintosh LTC for players aged 6-14 on Friday 4th June.

Playing matches and competition is a vital part of learning to play the game. Competition can help to motivate players and provides a purpose for coaching. In addition, it helps to teach players key life lessons such as learning to win and lose, never giving up, fair play and sportsmanship, plus lots more.

Events include:
8&U Red Stage – 10am-12pm
9&U Orange Stage – 1pm-3:30pm
10&U Green Stage – 9:30-12:30pm
14&U Yellow Stage – 1:30-4:30pm

All events will include both singles and doubles matches played in a relaxed environment to give players a great competition experience.

How to enter:
Please follow the link below and enter your child through the LTA website –

**Please note – when entering only enter your child into the Singles event – they will be automatically added to the Doubles event for their age group**

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Head Coach Rhys Morgan at: tenniscoach@mackintoshsportsclub.org or on 07929 264165.
