Coaching is available at the club on an
individual, pairs or group basis, catering for all ages and
abilities. You can organise this yourself by contacting the Club
Coach
(see above) or by joining a course (see below and right).
Juniors
We have a thriving junior section with over 100 children members, most
of whom attend the coaching sessions throughout the week. Even
though we focus on the skill and technical development of every child,
we try to base most of the learning in fun and enjoyment, without
the pressures that sport can cause. Our main aim is for children
to enjoy tennis into adulthood.

Adults
An adult improver course is run two or three times a year on Thursday
evenings from 7.00 - 8.00p.m. The course consists of 10 lessons
over a period of at least 10 weeks and afterwards you can play on for
the rest of the evening to practice those skills you have just
learnt. This is a popular way of getting into playing tennis, or
picking it up again after a few years lapse. After the course,
the Club Coach will make
an informal assessment to see if you have reached a sufficient standard
to be able to successfully join in on Full Club Play evenings (please
don't be daunted by this prospect - the tennis at Club Play is more
'social' than competitive in standard). If you aren't quite
ready for Club Play you can still play on club coaching evenings,
Saturday and Sunday afternoons and book courts for a period of six
months from the start of the course membership. In order to keep
playing at the club after this six month period you would need to
become a full adult club member (see membership
for details) or join the next
coaching course (for a further fee).
