The Quorn Family Tennis Cup (QFTC) is an informal, family doubles competition. Junior players play with an adult family member in a fun atmosphere at local venues. It encourages families to play tennis together, and eat healthy food to complement an active lifestyle.
Nearly 600 club events ran in 2018 with more than 6,000 players taking part and having fun!

How do the Red Ball Festival Days work?
As an added bonus, the winning pair from each Red Ball Cub event will be invited to a Red Ball Festival Day hosted at an LTA Summer Grass Court event in June (e.g. Nature Valley Open, Nottingham).
To qualify for a Festival Day, the venue must submit results by midnight April 28, 2019.
The Festival Days include some more, fun Red Ball tennis as well as goodies and prizes for all the junior players. After enjoying lunch, players and parents are free to enjoy the professional tennis taking place at whichever event they are visiting for the rest of the day.
