COACHING

Adults

Adult coaching is all about being on court, having fun and improving your tennis. Whether your goal is to simply have fun outdoors with friends or to beat that opponent who has always just got the better of you, the adult coaching programme will have a session for you.

Each session is aimed at different level of players and lasts for an hour or 90 minutes. In that time you focus on a few specific skills and will then practice these in a match situation. The sessions are limited to 8 players to ensure everyone gets the maximum coaching and playing time.

Improver:
Tuesday 6.30-7.30pm (£7.00/session)

These sessions are perfect for those who want to reignite their love for the game after a time away. The sessions will focus on a few shots and players will do drills to learn and improve these shots. They will then put these skills to practice in a fun but competitive situation.

Intermediate:
Tuesday 7.30-8.30pm (£7.00/session)

These sessions are ideal for those players who are familiar with the great game of tennis and now want to take their play to the next level. This session will focus on improving existing skills and becoming more confident in your shots. As with other levels, the session will focus on a few shots and will then implement them in a fun but competitive match situation.

Advanced:
Friday 7.30pm - 9.30pm (£9.00/session)

An informative, fun, action packed session, these drills sessions are aimed at advanced players who want to increase their skills further and learn new tactics. Drills will focus on developing a range of skills and players will then have the opportunity to implement them in a match situation. This level is best suited to players who play in the A or B team but regular, advanced tennis players who don't play in the teams are welcome too.

Children
We run sessions at five different levels:

(no sessions currently running at this age group)
Red sessions are for those aged 5-8
Orange sessions are those aged 8-9

Yellow sessions are for those aged 11+

Each session uses a ball and court-size adapted for the size and strength of children at that age. There is some flexibility, so if you’re not sure what level your child should attend, please let me know and we can work out where they would fit best.
