More Than Just Tennis

10is Academy director, Sebastien Scaux is proud of his young tennis players and their parents despite finishing last in their league on their maiden year.

Sebastien said: “It would have been nice to have a win on the last day, but we are working on something bigger: what we are building is more than just tennis!We are creating an environment where children and adults work together and learn from each other, a club where young players and adults respect for each other”.

For the last match of the year (away at Cambourne LTC), 10is Academy lined up an “intergenerational” team where children as young as 13 years old played alongside their mother or father. The team saw the Glenister girls mixed with the McGuinness boys.

A rain interrupted match saw Cambourne LTC win 8-0 with the best performance for the Ely based team coming from Peter and Tia.Captain of the day Samantha Glenister paid tribute to her team-mates: “Cambourne players didn’t hold back in playing against the young players. Peter and Tia (13) did very well, having several games going to Deuce. My partner Charlie (13) was good, he has awesome power, great shots and good behaviour”.

Cambourne players were full of praises for the young players especially on how hard they battled.

This year showed the team needs more match experience to reduce unforced errors, but it also left the team with the desire to work harder and play more matches. 10is Academy players will be back training from September 6th 2021.

Everyone is welcomed to join the classes regardless of their level. 10is Academy offer classes for junior and adults from total beginner to performance players.
