The Club's Level 3 coach, Duncan Coates, is introducing a new course aimed at adults who have never played tennis, or haven't played for a long time.

Tennis Xpress is an LTA course designed for adults with the aim of teaching the basics and growing players'confidence on court. All equipment is provided, including racquets if needed.

The six week course which starts at 10am on Friday September 15th will teach players how to score, serve and rally.  On completing the course all participants should feel confident enough to carry on playing, enjoying fun matches with family, friends and the people they meet on the course.

Duncan explains: 'I'm sure there are many people of all ages who perhaps played tennis at school but not picked up a racquet since, or maybe parents who want to be able to join in with their tennis playing children, who would like to learn the basics. This course is ideal for them: they can learn to play with like-minded people and not have to worry about feeling embarrassed.'

Whilst the sessions are initially to be held on Friday mornings, Duncan is keen to point out that if there is enough interest, he is willing to schedule other times if possible.
