Win a week’s grass court coaching


With many tennis coaching clubs taking the decision to turn their grass courts into courts that are playable all year round, it can be hard to get the opportunity to play on the green stuff.

British company Jonathan Markson Tennis is offering players the chance to play on the prestigious grass courts at Cambridge University. Founded in 1881, Cambridge University Lawn Tennis Club, located at Fenner’s Tennis Ground, is right in the heart of the city and Jonathan Markson Tennis has secured exclusive access to the courts.

Three week-long training camps held in August are a great way to improve your tennis while playing on the grass. The camp comprises nearly 30 hours of coaching and includes a singles tournament at the end of the week.

First prize: A week’s coaching one of Jonathan Markson Tennis’ Cambridge camps (August 2017)
Second prize: Two individual places on Jonathan Markson Tennis’ London Technical Clinic (May 27-29, 2017)
