⚽️🎾 Football meets Cardio Tennis!

It was a pleasure to welcome Steve Layzell and the Felixstowe & Walton United FC Under 13’s along to our Thursday evening Cardio Tennis session as part of their pre-season preparations! 💪

They joined our regular group and absolutely threw themselves into it — plenty of energy, competition, teamwork and, judging by Steve’s post… definitely a good workout! 😂🔥

Thanks for joining us guys — great to have you on court and best of luck for the season ahead! ⚽️👏

🎾 FAMILY FUN TENNIS… WHAT A START! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

What an awesome first Family Fun session on Friday! 🙌

9 families joined us for our first ever session and it was brilliant to see parents and children out on court playing, laughing, competing and enjoying tennis together. ❤️🎾

We packed the session with fun challenges, team games, parents vs kids and plenty of friendly family rivalry! 😆🏆

The whole idea behind these sessions was simple — create something where the whole family gets involved. No pressure, no experience needed, just an hour of being active and having fun together.

A huge thank you to all the families who came along and helped make our first one such a success. We loved seeing so many smiles out on court! ☀️

It was meant to be a little tester to see whether the idea would work…

Well, we think we got our answer! 😍🎾

After such a brilliant first session, Family Fun Tennis will definitely be making a return! 🙌

Keep your eyes peeled for the next date… 👀

🏆 CHAMPIONS ON HOME SOIL! 🏆

A brilliant week for Harry & Lewis, crowned Men’s Doubles Champions at the 96th Neil Songer Felixstowe Junior & Open Tournament 2026! 🎾🔥

Always special to win a title, but doing it together on the courts at Felixstowe makes this one even better. 👏

Huge congratulations boys — a fantastic result and another title to celebrate! 🏆💪

Also great to see Evelyn, Lilly & Tiyani out competing during the week. A Grade 3 brings some seriously tough opposition, but these are exactly the experiences that help young players learn, develop and keep progressing. 🎾💪

WHAT A WEEK FOR MTA! 💙🎾🏆

Sometimes you have weeks that remind you just how special this sport can be… and this has definitely been one of them.

🏆 Evelyn – Grade 4 10U Singles Champion
🏆 Justice – Framlingham Open Ladies’ Singles Champion
🏆 Matt – 8th Suffolk Closed Men’s Singles title
⬆️ Matt & Team Suffolk – promoted to Division One at the Over 35s County Cup

Four brilliant achievements, but perhaps what makes this week particularly special is that they all represent different chapters of a tennis journey.

Evelyn is right at the beginning of hers — getting out there, competing, learning and starting to experience the excitement of tournament tennis.

Justice has already experienced so much in the sport, stepped away from competition for a while and is now writing a new chapter — training hard, putting herself back out there and enjoying competing again.

And then there’s Head Coach Matt… proof that the journey doesn’t have to stop! 😂 Still getting out there and competing, still representing Suffolk and still loving the challenge of getting out on court.

Different ages. Different experiences. Different goals. The same love of tennis. 💙

That’s what MTA is all about. Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time, chasing your next goal, returning to the sport or still competing years down the line, there’s always another chapter to write.

What a week. Proud is an understatement. 💙🎾

FRAMLINGHAM OPEN CHAMPION 🏆🎾

What a week for Justice!

A brilliant 6-1, 6-3 victory in yesterday’s Ladies’ Open Singles final saw Justice take the title at Framlingham. 👏

And what a response it was. Just a few days earlier, Justice had lost to the same opponent in the semi-finals of the Suffolk Closed Singles. To turn that result around and produce such an impressive performance when they met again in the final says a lot about her.

Even more impressive when you consider this was Justice’s first competitive tournament back after a fair while away from tournament tennis.

From a coaching point of view, that’s probably the part I’m most proud of. It takes commitment to turn up and train hard week after week, but it takes even more courage to put yourself back out there in competition after being away from it for so long.

Justice was an incredibly successful junior player, so there’s naturally the added challenge of comparing where you are now with the standards you once set yourself. To see the work she’s put in over the last three months translate onto the match court so quickly has been brilliant.

It’s an absolute privilege to work with someone who is so motivated, determined and willing to work hard, but more importantly, is a genuinely lovely person both on and off the court.

Gutted I couldn’t be there to watch the final yesterday, but a big thank you to Tyler Weaver for keeping the updates coming — I may or may not have been checking my phone during the last doubles match yesterday down in Eastbourne! 🤣📱🎾

A very well-deserved title. Congratulations, Justice! 🏆💙

Another tournament win for Evelyn! 🏆🎾

A brilliant trip to Norwich on Wednesday for Evelyn, competing in the 10U Girls Singles at the Norwich Parks Grade 4 tournament.

Evelyn came through both of her matches with 4-1 victories, finishing top of her group with a 100% record and picking up another tournament win! An especially impressive result with both of her opponents having represented Norfolk at County Cup earlier this year. 👏

It’s been great to see Evelyn getting out on the match court more and more, gaining experience, competing hard and, most importantly, enjoying her tennis.

Another little step forward and another well-deserved result. 💙

Well done, Evelyn! 🏆

🏆 A fantastic week of competition down in for our MTA players!

A huge congratulations to Mark Cooper , who produced some outstanding tennis to win the Over 40s Singles title. A brilliant achievement and thoroughly deserved after a week of hard-fought matches. 👏🎾

A special mention also goes to Peter Hicks, who reached the semi-finals of the Over 55s Singles, narrowly losing to the eventual champion after another impressive run.

And well done to Jake Bendall, competing in his first tournament at this level and gaining some fantastic experience, picking up a couple of excellent wins along the way. A great platform to build on! 💪

It’s always brilliant to see our players testing themselves in competition and representing MTA and Felixstowe Lawn Tennis Club so well. Congratulations to all three! 👏🎾

🎾 Another fantastic tournament performance from Evelyn! 👏

A huge congratulations to Evelyn, who today finished Runner-Up at the Central & East Tour event on home soil at Felixstowe Lawn Tennis Club. 🥈

Winning 2 of her 3 matches, is another fantastic achievement and continues to show the progress she’s making every time she steps onto the match court.

Today’s result also backs up an outstanding performance at the Ipswich Sports Club Grand Prix, where Evelyn was crowned Champion, winning all 5 of her matches:
🥇 3 Singles wins
🥇 2 Doubles wins

What we’re most proud of isn’t just the medals—it’s seeing the hard work on the practice court transfer onto the match court. Every tournament is another opportunity to learn, grow and gain valuable experience, and Evelyn is embracing every challenge that comes her way.

A fantastic effort, Evelyn. Keep enjoying the journey—we can’t wait to see what’s next! 💙🎾

🥇🏅 Three days of summer camps... and plenty of medals handed out already! 👏🎾

This year we’ve mixed things up a little with three special awards handed out for each group :

🥇 Player of the Day – Outstanding tennis, effort and performance on court.
⭐ Coach’s Award – Someone who’s impressed us, whether that’s through improvement, determination or simply giving 100% all day.
💙 MTA Spirit Award – The one that sums up what MTA is all about... kindness, encouragement, teamwork, respect and helping others. The players who make camp an even better place to be.

A huge well done to every single winner over the first three days – we’re incredibly proud of you all! 👏

Who’ll be collecting the medals next week? 🎾🏅
