OUR COURSES
Parent & Pre-School
The Parent & Pre-School programme is designed to introduce children aged 3 and 4 to tennis and develop their physicality and hand-eye coordination by working with their parents but being led by a coach. All players on this course get FREE club membership.
Mini Tennis
The Mini Tennis programme, helps players progress through achievable targets. Our Mini Tennis Red programme helps children aged 4 to 7 years old to learn the fundamentals for tennis, including coordination, balance, agility, receptive skills and more in a fun environment. As the players improve on these skills they will be able to progress to the next stage for 6 to 9 year olds, which is our Mini Tennis Orange programme. This is played on a ¾ length court with low compression balls and in these sessions the players will continue to improve their physical skills while starting to develop their tactical and technical aspects. The next stage is Mini Tennis Green for 8 to 11 year olds and the players will further advance their tennis skills to play on a full size court with mid-compression balls, which will start to prepare them for the full game.
Junior Tennis
All 11 to 18 year olds can join our Junior Programme that will help them make the transition into adult tennis. We feel it is very important to get players to understand the game requirements so that they can play as soon as possible. Our entry level to tennis are the Foundation sessions which are designed to help players develop basic techniques and tactics so they can enjoy playing the game. As they progress, the Intermediate sessions offer more opportunity for those players wishing to compete and represent the club at lower team level, with Advanced sessions for top club team players.
Adult Tennis
Tennis is a wonderful social sport and many people are put off if they think they are not good enough. Everyone can play tennis and the exercises, drills, techniques and progressions ensures that everyone has fun, enjoys learning and improves at the same time. We have our Beginner classes for those who would like to take up the sport or getting back into tennis and for those who play at a low recreation level, we have our very popular Foundation course with the aim of getting people playing the game as fast as possible. For those adults wishing to build on their basic level, we have an Intermediate session which is aimed to take players into a social competitive environment that improves their matchplay for adult club sessions or lower team level.
