Key Dates 2024-25
To help you plan your schedule, below is the list of provisional key dates for this season. Due to ongoing building work, there is uncertainty over how available the Eton courts will be for tournaments this season. Where tournaments are marked on the list as being at Eton, it should therefore be taken as provisional and may change nearer the time. As with last year we are very grateful to Harrow, Highgate and other venues for stepping in to help out.
This is still a provisional list at the moment; do keep an eye out for notices on the website and on social media regarding any changes or updates.
Details of dates and venues for the 2025 National Schools' Championships will be published in due course.
