 Team matches and team practice

It is good to see that Rudgwick Lawn Tennis Club has a thriving set of teams - two men’s and two ladies’ - which play in the West Sussex inter-club summer and winter leagues. Teams consist of two pairs of players who play two doubles matches against their opponents. Matches take place at weekends.

We also have a team in the Sussex summer mixed mid-week league.

Team practice sessions are held on Wednesday evenings and are aimed at honing match and competitive skills for those in the team squads. Attendance at these sessions is confirmed via the website bulletin board which can also be used to establish the start time - some players are able to congregate by 6.30 or 7.00 pm whilst others can only get to the courts around 8.00 pm. Depending on her availability, the Club coach, Kelly Slater, may be able to devote some time to training drills.

The team captains for the forthcoming season are:
  • Men’s 1st Team Guy Harrison/Tim Bloomfield
  • Men’s 2nd Team Nick Luckman
  • Ladies’ 1st Kelly Slater 01403 823216
  • Ladies’ 2nd Jane Gillam 01403 752088
New team players will be very welcome - simply add a "yes" in the appropriate section of the subscription form. Whilst there are only four players required for each match, because everyone has a busy life, we find that we need a large pool of potential players in order to be sure of getting a team out on any particular date.

We are aiming to be able to offer match play coaching, subject to demand, for all squad members from our long standing coach Kelly Slater, or our new coach "Enric"
