We have some exciting news to share with you all which will form part of the club vision into the future.

As you know Shaun Malcolm has been working very hard under Amit’s coaching company to deliver top quality coaching to a group of talented juniors at Cheam LTC. Many of these juniors are ranked inside the top 10 for Surrey for their respective age groups.   

Off the back of this and the fact that our performance programme has grown to be one of the best in the area, the LTA has awarded Cheam LTC Performance Centre status for Surrey, an achievement matched only by 12 other clubs in the county.

Huge congratulations to all those involved, including the players and parents. We are very proud to have been awarded this status and look forward to displaying a special golden plaque outside the hut.

Our special thanks go to Shaun for making this happen and ensuring our coaching is among the best available.
