Parent/Junior Subscription

To support the WTA this new category of membership has been made available for non-member parents of juniors up to age 10. This allows parents to come along and practice with their youngsters.

It gets the Novels playing at times over and above the squad, a substantial amount of the sub. goes to the tennis junior development fund to help keep costs down and you get some excercise and fresh air!    This sub only allows the parent(s) to play with their youngster(s) and vice versa. In other words your kid cannot come along and play with their mate who is a junior member in her own right – unless they get prior permission from Tam, and pay a visitors fee of £1. Mum and Dad would need to pay the current visitor fee if playing with anyone other than their youngster. Open only to parents with kids in the Waverley Tennis Academy.   Contact Tam Bruce if interested.
