Weekday Coaching  

Our coaching sessions are technically based, 60-minute sessions helping children to learn and master the strokes required to play the game of tennis, from beginner to those regularly competing in tournaments . There are several levels of classes, which run through the week and are tailored to a player's rating. 

When players improve their rating they rise through the various levels of the classes and learn more advanced techniques and strategies on court.  Towards the end of our teaching year, these techniques are transferred into tactics and how to play the game, which changes the dynamics of each session and so prepares individuals for competitions of a higher standard.

We have high-performance levels of coaching for players who demonstrate the potential to go higher than club level. This is by appointment and approval of the coaches, who will then invite you to discuss your individual coaching needs. You will be expected to follow a strict physical programme and tournament schedule in order to prepare you for the raised demands of fame!
Super Saturday

New for 2010, we have our Super Saturday competitions, running each Saturday afternoon from 2PM for about two hours.  After you've entered on-line on the LTA website, you can play in friendly surroundings and improve your game in a light-hearted competitive environment - after all that's what you learn to play tennis for!  After winning a few matches, you can improve your LTA Rating and play at other clubs to help you reach your potential.
Competition

The centre offers plenty of opportunity for our junior members to compete. We positively encourage the playing of the game and enter our juniors into the Junior National Club League and, as a club, run the following events for juniors in general:
  • Annual junior club championships
  • 2 LTA (grade 4) week long tournaments
  • 6-10 winter “matchplay” events for various ages and levels
  • Internal singles box leagues
Court Availability

Our junior members are treated with the same respect as our adults and are given the same access rights to the courts. The only provision we have is that any junior in the age group 9-12 must have an adult in attendance when they are playing, for health and safety reason.
