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"
