🎄 Happy Holidays from Durham Community Tennis Partnership! 🎄

We’d like to wish all our players, families, coaches, and volunteers a very happy holiday season. Thank you for being part of our tennis community throughout the year.

🎾 Tennis resumes on 9th & 10th January — we can’t wait to welcome everyone back on court in the new year.

Enjoy the festivities, stay warm, and we’ll see you soon! ❄️🎄

As we come to the end of the year, parents might be wondering which age group their children can play in from 1st January.

The LTA competition age groups chart shows birth year and event age brackets. You can find out more, or use the LTA competition age group calculator at the link below:
https://www.lta.org.uk/compete/junior/competition-age-groups/

Players under 10 may only "play up" if they have a passport to do so.

2026 is looming and we are so excited to be launching as the new LTA Workforce Development Centre for the North of England. We will be working with , , , , , Northumberland & .tennis to provide Tennis & Padel CPD and Qualifications for coaches and officials.

We have been very busy speaking with counties, venues and key partners to put together a meaningful calendar that works for our area. We still have some work to do…. But we are proud of the work we have done so far.

This is just the start of something very exciting!!
