👏🏼 Well deserved Lucy, thanks for accepting the YPOTY award. Well done and we look forward to seeing you further develop your league tennis. Duston United Tennis Club
🏆🎾🎾👏🏼👏🏼🏆

Your Northampton Tennis League Young Female Player of the Year is our very own Lucy 😍

Congratulations 👏 👏 👏

This is the nomination that won her the award:

Lucy is a ray of sunshine around Duston United Tennis Club. Not only is she a great team player for our ladies and mixed teams, she stands out as a friendly and sociable young lady who gets on with everyone she meets.

Lucy has been assisting her father's (David) tennis coaching business since the age of 11 and has grown in maturity and leadership, being a favourite tennis assistant to many mini tennis children on the programme and an exceptional and inspirational role model to young girls in particular.

Lucy will always do a great job assisting in coaching lessons, she can be entrusted to lead her own court of players, with David safe in the knowledge that the children will enjoy themselves and improve under Lucy's guidance and praise.

Several times over the years, Lucy's warm and personable nature has encouraged children who sometimes are reluctant to join in with lessons at first, be it their first time experiencing tennis or for whatever reason, to join in and engage with the sessions.

Lucy is an asset to Duston UTC and her love of tennis and sport has now seen her to go on to study A Level PE with a long term goal of becoming a PE Teacher. We have no doubt she will excel at this too!
