Chris Husson at Winchester Racquets and Fitness Club runs the Grand Prix — a fun, welcoming graded series for junior players. Matches are played in box leagues, finalised on the day, aiming to give every player a good balance of confidence-building and great matches. There are three graded levels on every date, so there's a match for players at every stage.

The emphasis of this series is a fun & learning environment. The goal is for juniors to have fun, make friends, put their learning into practice, and want to come back for more — a great place to start for as long as players need it.

How to Sign Up

Signing up is easy — email Chris Husson ahead of the next event to let him know if you can or can't make it, then turn up. Letting him know ahead of time is essential so the playing orders and groupings can be worked out in advance, giving every player the best and most matches possible.

£10 per event/player — BACS transfer accepted.
