Legacy Properties Sponsors Cornwall’s Youngest County Tennis Players

Cornwall-based developer, Legacy Properties, has announced its sponsorship of Cornwall’s under-8 county tennis team at Newquay’s Heron Tennis Club, supporting the region’s most promising young players with new kit to wear on court.

With the contribution from Legacy Properties, the sponsorship funded smart matching hoodies for the 10-strong mixed team and their coaches, as well as branded t-shirts for all children attending county training sessions. 

This is the first official backing for the under-8 squad – one of the youngest age categories in UK tennis competition. Representing the very best talent from clubs across Cornwall, the team travelled to Taunton to compete in this year’s County Cup against rivals from Devon, Avon, Somerset and Dorset in their new kit.

The team plays out of Heron Tennis Club in Newquay, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The club is situated close to communities where Legacy Properties is currently building new homes, including its latest sold-out development, The Grange, in Goonhavern. 

The Newquay-based housebuilder has deep roots across both north and south Cornwall and is committed to nurturing young talent in the areas where it builds.

Nick Long, Managing Director at Legacy Properties, said: “We believe in backing local talent and giving young people opportunities to grow – whether that’s through the homes we build or the communities we support. Seeing the Cornwall under-8 team kitted out and stepping onto the court with pride is exactly the kind of grassroots impact we want to be part of. This is just the beginning, and we look forward to supporting more youth initiatives across the region.”

Warren Nield, from Cornwall Lawn Tennis Association, commented: “Having Legacy Properties behind us this season has made a real difference. The kids loved receiving their team hoodies and wearing their county t-shirts to training – it’s brought a real sense of pride and togetherness. For players this young, feeling part of something special helps build confidence on and off the court. We’re incredibly grateful to Legacy for their support.”
