Tennis

Tennis is a major part of life at St Edward’s during the Summer Term and is a core sport offered to girls across all year groups.

Teams are fielded at all levels, with up to three teams of six in an age group. Sixth Form boys can choose tennis as their main sports option and take advantage of a full fixtures list and Lower School boys are able to enjoy tennis as either a second sport choice on in their free time.

Pupils are able to make use of four hard courts and 16 astroturf courts, allowing them to hone their skills on a variety of surfaces. Players also have access to the four indoor courts at the on-site Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Centre and their affiliated team of coaches, some of the best in the county. Our strongest players are invited to take part in a winter training programme on the indoor courts. Teddies also has a close association with the Oxfordshire Racquet Academy and the best players (both boys and girls) are invited to join their programme and may play additional matches throughout the year. The School has an Athletic Development Centre, offering sessions with our specialist Strength & Conditioning Coach.

During the summer season we have a strong fixtures list, competing against some of the top schools in the county, we typically field four boys’ teams and 12 girls’ teams and each year we enter teams into the LTA Youth Schools National Championships for the Aberdale and Glanville Cups. Although the majority of matches are played in the Summer Term competitive fixtures are played throughout the school year.
