The entry forms for schools and clubs who wish to host an event are now available for tournament organisers to download and complete, the organiser packs are ready to be sent out in February. Juniors eligible to play in the 2011 Road To Wimbledon Championships should get in touch with their local LTA County Tournament Organiser to find out when & where to play a Stage One club/school event.

Once again, after The Championships, Wimbledon will re-open its cast iron gates inviting the best of Britain’s 14 & under school children who make it through their local Stage One competition, and qualify via the County Finals, to play at the home of the worlds premier tennis tournament.

It takes three stages of competitive tennis to determine who will be the next HSBC Road To Wimbledon Champion and it starts crucially at the local singles events at schools and tennis clubs across the country.

To help make this year bigger, and better, than before you are invited to organise a Stage 1 competition at your school, park, or club which must be completed before 31st May 2011.

“2011 will be our 10th anniversary and we are keen for as many clubs and schools as possible to enter the event to give more juniors an opportunity of getting competition experience and a chance to qualify to play at Wimbledon in the National Finals. Our online entry form for clubs and schools to enter is now available with a deadline for organisers who wish to hold an event of 31st January 2011.” -Tournament Director, Paul Hutchins
