A great start!

A fantastic start to the indoor winter league for our section with an impressive win over local rivals Palmerston. What is even more impressive is the fact that the pairs involved had never played together in a competitive match before and two of them have never even met. We hope to continue with this success in our next game against East Wavertree.

In order to ensure that our members have the best coaching in the region, and become better equipped to participate in competitive matches, our Head Coach ANT HARDMAN will be running all coaching sessions in the future, both group and individual. Ant has just stepped down as world ranked number 1 Neil Skupski’s coach and has committed to our sections growth and development. We are privileged to have him join our tennis family.

Such has been the success of our social tennis sessions that we are now arranging Sunday groups from 10:00-12:00 in addition to our regular Saturday (2:00-4:00pm) and Wednesday (6:30pm onwards) sessions. All members are invited to join us, either take up a new sport or return to their spiritual home.

As Diana Ross once sang’ it may be winter outside………..but on our courts it’s spring’.

Men’s and Women’s Rugby Need You!

Both our men’s and women’s rugby teams are on the lookout for new players for the 24/25 season.

If you’re a budding player or new to the sports then why not get in touch as inclusivity is at our core! As well as the playing side there’s also lots of social activities on offer so you’re never be without something to do at the weekend.

If you’re interested then please email liverpoolcollegiaterufc@gmail.com for more info.

New courts, New Coach

We have freshly re-surfaced tennis courts that are available to all playing members for free as part of their membership package and also to non-members at £10 per hour.

On top of this we have our new Head Coach Ant Hardman and his team who will be delivering his innovation GENZ coaching programme which will allow players of all abilities to improve their game.

Ant previously coached current Wimbledon mixed doubles champ and local lad Neal Skupski. If you want a sneaky heads up on what this involves please visit his instagram page; @genzdoubles_system.

There’s life in the old dog yet

A new feature of our winter cricket training programme has been a series of CRICKSAL indoor games between different groups. The latest match was a full indoor T20 between the under 15s and the Back to Cricket (adult) group. It went down to the last ball and this time experience overcame youth!
