Over 24 children attended the MK Ace Tennis Mini Tennis Festival on Sat 11th December. The festival is an end of term event for all the children who attend MK Ace Tennis coaching to compete, have fun and play as a team. The activities are all tennis related and the teams rotate round each station over the 2 hour period. On each activity the teams collected points and at the end of the event, the team with the most points were awarded with the very special MK Ace Tennis medals. We look forward to holding the event again at the end of next term!

In the 1980’s and 1990’s Jo was the most dominant force in British Women’s tennis. In 1984 she reached a career high of number 5 in the world whilst being the number 1 British player between 1982 and 1995. Whilst Jo was on the professional tennis tour, Alan Jones was the coach who influenced her tennis immensely. Alan was a former National Coach and spent 15 years travelling with Jo and Jeremy Bates, as well as coaching 8 British number 1’s and over 20 national age-group winners. He is the most successful British coach ever and is still at the heart of coaching at the FC** Tennis Academy at Dukes Meadow in London.

This September sees the launch of MK Ace Tennis, an innovative and exciting tennis initiative.

MK Ace Tennis will be the ONLY tennis club in Buckinghamshire that does not require the users to be members. This inclusive and welcoming environment will benefit tennis, local sport and the community as a whole.
