Tennis at KGS is both a performance and participation sport and is popular and successful. It is played primarily during the Summer term, although pre-season squad training starts during the second half of the Spring term.
With eight permanent all-weather courts and four temporary astro courts at Ditton Field, we are able to cater for large numbers of students. Our squads have twice-weekly practice sessions (after-school and in Games), and group coaching sessions on Saturdays are available to students of all standards.
Students take part in a wide variety of competitions: the Surrey Schools leagues, festivals and knockouts, the LTA Youth Schools competitions, the Independent Schools National Championships and the LTA Road To Wimbledon tournament. In addition, there are friendly fixtures against local schools, the internal House Tennis and Family Tennis competitions, as well as the annual Kingston Challenge Cup against Tiffin. KGS Tennis has enjoyed fantastic results over the years, with teams winning regional and county competitions. At an individual level, several of our students play at county level and compete in tournaments nationally.
