Rye Lawn Tennis and Squash Club, under the leadership of Head Coach Tanya McCulley from HotshotZ, hosted the Schools Festival Day on Monday 29th April, bringing together eager young pupils from local primary schools for an afternoon full of tennis, teamwork, and fun.

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.
