Tennis Sussex Junior Player Competition Support
We have set aside £2000 to support players entering high level competitions. Individual players can receive up to £200 back for competition entries fees over a period from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025.
Tennis Sussex will refund the entry fees paid for Grade 1, Grade 2, Tennis Europe and ITF Junior events and Brit Tours up to a maximum of £200 per person.
Only available to players who attend County training.
Once the fund of £2000 has been used, it’s finished and it’s on a first come first served basis. We may or may not offer the fund in future years but are pleased to offer some support for Junior players this year.
To claim please email: office@tennissusssex.com with proof of entry after the event has taken place.
