Overview

The Junior Development Programme which offers sessions weekdays and weekends, is energising, challenging and a great motivating experience for kids. It is aimed at players aged 5-18 who's main sport is tennis, play more than twice a week and participate in regular competition and also for those moving up from our Foundation level.

Our coaches provide age and ability appropriate instruction for juniors within the development programme. The sessions focus on several key fundamentals; stroke mechanics, footwork, skill drills and match play. Throughout the programme there is a greater emphasis on tactical development which can be directly applied into their matches. We understand that every player is unique and aim to help each one develop their individual game style. Proper stretching techniques for injury prevention and physical conditioning are a regular part the programme.

Newly incoming players, please contact one of the coaches at the appropriate level range for information on the correct group this may include a playing evaluation for some groups.

Match-play Events and Junior Box Leagues:

We run regular internal match-play events to allow our development players to practice what they've learned in their lessons in a competitive environment. These are usually singles match practice, and will be against plays of the same or similar standard. They can provide excellent competitive opportunities and is a great way to start your competitive tennis journey. 

The results from official events will be processed and count towards your LTA rating.
