Mini Challenger Tour
Nurture. Enrich. Support.
THE VISION
The vision of the Mini Challenger Tour is to nurture, support and connect an international and diverse community of young tennis players and parents at a pivotal stage of their development, through the provision of an innovative and inclusive series of values-driven, fun and interactive mini tennis events, accompanied by a world class educational support programme. Our goal is to improve the accessibility of high-quality mini tennis events by providing localised and affordable events for young players and their parents, negating the need for significant travel at a young age.
THE TOUR
The Mini Challenger Tour offers a unique integrated individual and team competition format for children of all levels of experience, up to eleven years old. The aim of the circuit is to introduce young children and fledgling tennis parents to competition in a fun, interactive and informative way, while also instilling values of teamwork and sportsmanship. By offering an element of both individual and team competitive formats, and with player awards underpinned by a solid set of values, players and parents have the opportunity to start their tennis journey the right way.
