'Ready, Play' - An Introductory Guide to Competition
Produced by the LTA, 'Ready, Play' is an introductory guide to competition for parents and carers who are new to competition.

The guide covers :
- Things to consider before your child starts competing
- What to expect at tennis competitions and how to positively support your child

Competing in Junior Tennis
The LTA has three main focuses for helping under 18s starting out in competition to make the most out of competing in junior tennis :
Team challenge - a great way to introduce kids to tennis competitions at their local clubs; fun, friendly, and no serious scoring with the benefits of team socialising.
Matchplay - often a child’s first experience of individual competitive tennis. In two- or three-hour sessions they compete in both singles and doubles matches against players of a similar ability.
Local Tour - the quick-scoring junior tennis tournament. These competitions give players their first opportunity to earn real Recent Form or LTA Ranking points.
