As the St Andrews International School Bangkok tennis programme continues to grow, we have partnered with Spin & Slice Tennis to expand options for STA students and parents.

Spin and Slice Tennis is proud to be the official tennis provider of St Andrews International School Bangkok, and to celebrate this newfound partnership, they are offering the following to our students and their immediate families:

STA Tennis development opportunities exist year-round for all players, with pathways available for players aiming towards competitive tennis at local, national and international level school tournaments. Open clubs start in KS1 where players learn fundamental strokes and the basics of the game on smaller courts with shorter racquets and slower balls. They will play small-sided games that allow for plenty of interaction. In KS2, this development continues towards more advanced techniques and tactics and players may enjoy their first competitive experiences from U11. More focused training and systematic physical conditioning begins at U11 and continues throughout High School with weekly squad training sessions.

Spin & Slice Tennis will support our squad training for selected players and lead our developing players through various junior tennis programmes. Trials for the Flames Tennis Squad will begin in the first few weeks of Term 1. Details of additional options are listed below:
