Learn, develop, play!
The main aim of our coaching programme is to help players of all ages experience the full fun and excitement of tennis through:
- learning the basics
- developing their skills
- playing the sport
We believe that learning tennis skills without playing the sport is like learning a new language but never using it!
Our programme is run by Head Coach, Yvonne Blyth, supported by a team of qualified coaches, assistants and tennis leaders.
Coaching sessions and other events are available for three groups of adult players:
- Beginners - adults keen to learn the basics with other beginners in a friendly, fun environment; our first Adult Beginner course of 2024 is online now and we’re planning to run courses regularly throughout the year
- Improvers - players who have learned the basics and are now aiming to take their game to the next level by learning more advanced techniques and tactics
- Cardio Trainers - Cardio Tennis is a high-energy fitness activity that combines the best features of tennis with tough cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, calorie-burning, aerobic workout. It’s suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
Pickleball
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong using a paddle and plastic ball with holes. It's a fantastic social activity, suitable for players of all ages. It can also be a challenging, fast-paced, and competitive sport when people become more experienced at playing. We’ll be running regular Pickleball sessions throughout the year.
The second of our two five-week Summer term blocks runs from Monday 15th May until Saturday 29th June:
Target group | Description | Dates/times | How to book |
