The summer festivals run across four Saturday afternoons in June and July: red ball on the mini courts, orange on courts five and six, and a green-ball round-robin on the clay. For most of the children in the pathway these are their first competitive matches, played against the children they train with.
There is no ranking, no seeding and no draw sheet on the wall. Children score their own matches, a coach umpires the disputes, and the afternoon finishes with tea on the lawn. Families are welcome from the loggia and, for the festivals only, courtside.
Places are automatic for pathway children. Camp families who would like to enter a child should ask at the desk.
