Here's what our customers say
I attended my first tennis lesson for beginners earlier this week. It was very enjoyable, the trainers were excellent, it all run very smoothly and I am looking forward to many more sessions. I was not aware that Better was a charitable enterprise, I attended the Bodmin centre and thought it looked in great shape.

Thank you so much for what you do for all of the children both at the club and also the extra days out - the girls had a great time today!
Neil - Parent 2025
My daughter joined tennis in September. She has told me that she has felt more welcome in her short time at tennis than she ever did in the year at football. The coaches are great and always go that extra mile for the children. My daughter has loved the extra activities outside of her lessons too. Thank you.

Both my son and I have really enjoyed our tennis lessons with Steve and Hayley. The group for my son has been tailored to his needs, is always different so keeps his interest and is fun and challenging. It is a supportive learning environment and age appropriate. Steve and Hayley have been flexible and able to adapt to his needs. My adult session is also lots of fun and different each week. It's challenging and Steve and Hayley and encouraging and supportive, identifying and praising progress and never making me feel I cannot do something. It is a great way to keep up my fitness, learn a new skill and in the process meet great people and feel I am progressing. Thank you

My son has been attending tennis sessions at Bodmin Tennis Centre for 2 years. The coaches Steve and Hayley make the sessions fun and engaging and they have inspired my son to volunteer a couple of hours a week as a tennis leader at the centre. We are lucky to have such a fantastic facility on our doorstep.

My son has been having tennis lessons with Steve and Hayley for the last 6 years which he absolutely loves. Inspired by his improvements I started having lessons myself. Would absolutely recommend if you are new to tennis or just want to brush up on your skills.
Stacey - Player & Parent
Hayley has been an outstanding coach, always going the extra mile for everyone in her classes, also passing on her knowledge of the game. The masterclass with Richard Love was a delightful experience, and I can't wait to continue improving my skills while having a great time.

Bodmin Tennis is a fantastic centre for the local community. I first started tennis there with the amazing coaching team as a child and received top quality instruction and support for my game. I moved into Cardio Tennis as an adult and they are brilliant fun! The facilities are great but the coaches are really the stars of the show.

Rach Hadley Parent Facebook August 2022
My son has been coached and played matchplays for a number of years at Bodmin. The coaches Steve and Hayley are always friendly, great at engaging the children into the activities and they know what level they need to play at now and when to progress Also when able they ensure the parents get involved. The facilities at Bodmin are fantastic with both indoor and outdoor tennis courts. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to get into tennis to get down to Bodmin Tennis.

The tennis centre is brilliant, my child has been attending for years . Growing from strength to strength under the coaching of steve and team. The coaches and staff are always helpful, thoughtful and knowledgeable. They have handled the new conditions brilliantly. I am a key-worker and witnessed the Covid safe provisions and feel very confident with the steps in place.

"Bodmin Tennis is the only indoor Tennis Centre in Cornwall and local residents are very lucky to have this facility. I have been attending here for over 10yrs with my children who have worked their way through the development programme the performance programme and now coach here. The tennis manager is friendly and helps you to feel relaxed. Through encouragement he will build your confidence and has the ability to guide you through the stages of tennis whether you are looking to play socially or go through a performance path. He has a good knowledge of tennis so able to answer any questions you have about your progress. It is obvious to see that he really enjoys his job and is very dedicated to it."

Thank you for a lovely session. Flo was buzzing when I came home from work! She learnt a lot, improved confidence and that’s exactly what I wanted her to gain. Looking at the photos she is the smallest but she told me all about it and loved it.
Her first ‘medal’ too so she was chuffed!
Thanks again #proudmuma
