Tennis
Tennis is a major sport for both boys and girls with county and national competitions being entered each year. There are a number of county players throughout the school, with many ranked in the top 10 in the country for their age group. New Hall competes in the National Schools Tennis competitions and has a strong competitive programme in place to cater for all levels. The tennis squad recently went to La Manga for some warm weather training over Easter.

New Hall Tennis Academy
The New Hall Tennis Academy is designed to appeal to players of county to national standard who show a high level of commitment towards their tennis, whilst still allowing some flexibility for them to participate in academic life in the school. At New Hall we understand that achieving high level success in the sport becomes increasingly difficult as children go through their academic studies. High levels of educational achievement are important both for the individual and for the continued success of the school. This scheme would allow New Hall to offer a high standard of education whilst still meeting the needs of high performing tennis players. We aim to become one of the top National tennis schools, helping to produce players of a national and international level.
The Tennis Academy has an extensive coaching programme allowing tennis scholars the opportunity to access Redbridge Sports Centre as part of our High Performance link with Compete Tennis. The tennis programme is overseen by our LTA tennis professional, Mr Bennett, and his team, and caters for all abilities, allowing students the opportunity to have group, paired and individual lessons.
