The event saw participation from several primary schools in the local area, including Winchelsea, Peasmarsh, and Battle, each competing in various tennis mini-games designed to challenge their skills and foster sportsmanship. The friendly but fierce competition culminated with “Battle Ballers” clinching first place, followed closely by the spirited team of the “Peasmarsh-ians” as runners-up. "Seeing the joy and enthusiasm in the kids as they hit the court is incredibly fulfilling," said Tanya McCulley. "Days like this not only strengthen community ties but also ignite a lifelong passion for sports among pupils." The festival is part of the club’s ongoing commitment to promoting health and fitness through sports. It serves as a precursor to an even more exciting event - a FREE open day scheduled for June 29, 2024. This upcoming event promises a day full of free coaching, demonstrations, and a variety of activities across all sports offered at the club, including tennis, padel, squash, table tennis, and croquet, suitable for both kids and adults. It’s a perfect opportunity for families to get a taste of what Rye Lawn Tennis and Squash Club has to offer.
