Tennis is a popular summer sport at St Paul’s Collegiate School. The programme caters to both elite players and those who play socially, offering access to international-quality courts. Specialist coaches provide group and one-on-one sessions, helping students improve their skills and achieve their personal best throughout the season.
Schedule
Training takes place twice per week. Social players are Monday and Wednesday for Juniors and Tuesday and Thursday for Seniors after school. Coaching occurs for more serious players or beginners wanting to up their skill level at lunchtime on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Competition
Students who are serious about the sport, and competing at an elite level, take part in:
- Waikato secondary schools' competitions
- Inter-school matches (these take place on Wednesdays)
Levies
The levy for tennis is $50 per student to cover entry fees for tournaments and competitions and transport. Additional expenses incurred at North Island and national tournaments are dispersed to accounts. Players who receive coaching will incur a term fee, which is dependent on numbers. This will be indicated to parents/caregivers at the beginning of each term. There is an additional entry fee for the Waikato Secondary Schools competition and any additional tournaments that are played. These will be indicated in advance of the events.
