With ten grass courts, eight hard courts and twelve astro-turf courts, Gresham’s offers a fantastic tennis experience for both boys and girls.
With a mixture of squad and social players participating in and out of allocated games’ times the school offers an increasingly rare opportunity for grass court tennis with the four ‘Chapel Courts’ being some of the best grass courts in the county.
With up to ten fixtures in the Summer term at First VI, Second VI and increasingly Third VI level there is an opportunity for all to compete against schools and local clubs both at doubles and singles.
The school has enjoyed great success over recent years, especially at first six. In 2022, competing in the LTA competition, both the junior girls and junior boys (Years 9 and 10) were county champions and runners up in regional finals.
The tennis squad have been on tennis training camp to Portugal on several occasions and they are hoping to plan another tour soon.
With experienced internal staff and three external coaches (three level 3 LTA and USPTR), the staff are well qualified to coach at all levels. Padel tennis courts are currently being developed close to the school, in Holt, and there will be opportunities for pupils to play and receive coaching from September 2025.
