COUNTY TRAINING
County Training for the junior age groups is organised by the County Junior Performance Co-ordinator, Simon Thornewill. The most promising players across the 8U–18U age range are invited and each camp of approximately 8 players (9U–18U) and 16 players (8U) will be taken by the age group County Captain along with their Vice Captain. Cheshire Tennis has two different strands for delivering County Training - a monthly and weekly structure. Monthly County Training covers all junior age groups from 8U – 18U and these sessions are delivered across the county at indoor centres. Weekly County Training runs for players from 7U to 12U and these sessions happen mainly on a Friday evening so that our best players can train together on a weekly basis without clashing with the players' existing programmes.
