A few weeks ago, 9 teams from across the New Forest participated in the Tennis qualifier event, completing matches throughout the entire afternoon with non-stop short court action. Although tennis is an individual sport, we joined our scores together to form a team total. Before the matches, we demonstrated integrity as we ranked ourselves from 1-4. The player seeded 1 then played the seed 1 player from all the other teams, with seeds 2, 3 and 4 following suit. All points were added together to gain a team total from each match. We needed to focus to keep control of the ball and try and outwit our opponents with the placing of the ball within the service box. We all improved our tennis throughout the day with the Year 4 team winning the event and gaining gold medals. This team has now qualified for the New Forest tennis finals and will play against another 15 teams in June. It will be our own Wimbledon warm up!
