Stowmarket Junior Club was founded in October 2006 assisted by a
grant from the Local Network Fund. Six members of the adult club
undertook their Level 1 Coaching Award and three members
successfully completed their Level 2 Coaching Award to support the
juniors at the club.
Membership of the junior club is open to juniors of
all abilities; the only restriction that we apply is to
keep the number of juniors members low enough to ensure that
they are safe when on court during the sessions and receive an
appropriate amount of coaching.
During the first year the club met on Thursday evenings at Mid
Suffolk Leisure Centre and hosted a successful tournament at the
end of the season. Members of the club also took part in
tournaments throughout the county gaining valuable experience of
competetive play.
The success of the club meant that we had to try and hire more
courts to enable more new members to join. In September the Junior
Club began the 07 - 08 season on Saturday mornings at Mid
Suffolk Leisure Centre with the juniors being divided
into two groups that meet between 9.00am - 10.00am for younger /
beginners and 10.15am - 12.00noon for older / experienced
juniors.
