Mid - week sessions

The coaching team have worked hard to keep to similar times where possible but also to extend the opportunity for individuals to play more tennis if they wish to.

We have also re-named the groups to give them a little more tennis orientation and added a match play morning that we have never had before.

The cost of each session is £6.00 and will be invoiced each half term.

When you have decided on which of the days you would like to play, please return the form indicating which of the times you would like too participate in, so we can secure your place. It will be a first come, first serve basis and once we reach our maximum of 8 players on each session, any remaining players will have to go onto either a waiting list or try to make another session in the week.

Performance

We do have a performance levels for those players who we feel have the potential to go higher than club level. This programme is a natural progression from the Mini-Tennis Performance programme and is by appointment and approval of the coaches, who will then invite you to these sessions. Once connected to these sessions you will be expected to follow a strict physical programme and tournament schedule. This is a time consuming decision to become involved in the performance side of the programme and must not be taken lightly. Some players even get given the chance to embark on a more individualised program to suit their needs even better.

For more details on the growing Performance Programme, please contact the centre and speak to either Tennis Director Colin Jakeway or Head Performance Coach Oli Meager.

 Week end “Match play”

The match play morning will be across three courts and we hope that we will be able to accommodate all our players over the 2.5 hours of practice. The match practice is an important part of our new programme and the coaches hope to see as many of the players there as possible, after all, tennis is a game to be played and competed at, not just learnt stroke by stroke…

There is no cost for the 2.5hrs session as this is incorporated as part of the junior membership!

The centre will also be hosting some LTA events for different ages over the coming year, please look out for details as we would like to see our players competing against outside opposition.

The coaching team enters the Junior National Club League on a yearly basis in the following age groups; Unders 10's, 12's, 14's and 16's.
