Thinking of picking up a tennis racket for the first time? Whether you're dreaming of playing competitive matches or simply looking for a fun way to stay active, learning tennis is a brilliant choice. It’s great for fitness, coordination, and socialising—and with the right environment, it’s a joy to know at any age.
If you live in or around Chester, you’re in luck. Chester Lawn Tennis Club provides the ideal starting point for beginners of all ages, offering expert coaching, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent year-round facilities.
Here’s how to get started:
1. Start With a Group Beginners Class
One of the best ways to learn tennis is with others who are at your level. Chester Lawn Tennis Club offers group beginner classes for both adults and juniors, making it easy to build skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.
You’ll be coached by Brad and Dan, two experienced and friendly coaches who are passionate about making tennis fun and accessible. They’ll guide you through all the essentials—how to hold the racket, serve, rally, and score. No pressure, progress at your own pace.
💡 Tip: You don’t need to buy expensive gear to start. The club often has spare rackets you can use, and your coaches will help recommend equipment if you choose to invest later.
2. Join the Club – Play All Year Round
When you become a member of Chester Lawn Tennis Club, you get access to courts all year round. That means no waiting for summer to roll around—you can practice whenever you like, indoors or out, rain or shine.
Members can book courts online, making it easy to plan practice sessions around your schedule. Regular play is key to improving quickly, and having court access removes one of the biggest barriers to sticking with the sport.
3. Practice Through Social Play
Once you’ve mastered the basics, joining in with social play is a fantastic way to put your skills into practice in a friendly setting. Chester Lawn Tennis Club hosts regular sessions for members where you can play both singles and doubles, meet other players, and improve your game without the pressure of competition.
It’s not just about tennis either—many players stick around for a chat and a drink afterwards. It’s a great way to become part of the community and keep tennis feeling fun.
4. Stick With It – Progress at Your Own Pace
Like any sport, learning tennis takes time. Some weeks you’ll feel like you’ve made significant strides, others might be more frustrating. That’s normal. With supportive coaching and regular opportunities to play, you’ll be amazed how quickly you improve.
The key is consistency: attend your group sessions, make time for casual hits, and say yes to social games when you can.
