Tennis is a popular summer sport at St Paul’s Collegiate School. The programme caters to both competitive and developing players, offering access to international-quality courts. Specialist coaching is available upon request and senior players provide coaching and support to juniors at the afterschool sessions, helping students improve their skills and achieve their personal best throughout the season.
We offer Competitive, Development and Participation (if numbers permit) teams.
