Firstly I would like to apologise for the late submission of this newsletter, although there are no excuses my focus went into setting up the David Lloyd Boot Camps and the launch of our new company website which you will learn more about later in the this newsletter.

After a long hard summer all the academy members and staff have settled back into the swing of academy life. Both, Andrew Richardson and Simon Harston have settled in really well to their new roles within the Academy. Jathan Malik has joined the Academy at Reed's and has settled in well to academy life.

With half term upon us yet again most the players are getting prepared for the Indoor Grand Prix events and travelling to various ITF events abroad. The academies are also holding half term camps and for more information on these please visit: http://www.davidlloydacademy.com/talent.php

For the first time ever in the UK we will be the only Academy offering residential summer tennis camps with the opportunity to learn English at no extra charge. Each student will receive an Oxford certificate confirming the level of English they have ascertained. To find out more information on this please visit: http://www.davidlloydsport.com/websitepage.php?id=3

As an Academy we also have had some success stories based across all three academies. You can view all the up to date results by clicking on the following link:http://www.davidlloydacademy.com/results.php
