Notes

  • Payment must be made at the time of registration to a coaching course and before any attendance.
  • Registration must be made using clubspark. 
  • Group sessions will run in almost all weather conditions. If a session is to be cancelled then the coach will message the group. On even rarer occasions a decision will have to be made at the start of a session and this would be based on the individual nature of the group.
  • Our adult intermediate peak hour classes are member only courses.  
  • Spring term coaching starts on Monday 6 January 2025.  
    - Coaching will not run for half term from Monday 17 February to Sunday 23 February.  
    - Last day of coaching is Sunday 6 April
  • Spring Term 2025 Programme runs from 6 January to 6 April
    - Is open from Monday 2 December to those who are attending the Autumn Term (individual emails will be sent with a direct link, except for teams which will be sent out in due course)
    - From Monday 9 December it is open for members only
    - From Monday 16 December it is open for non members too
  • Courses can be joined at any time in the term as long as there are spaces and payment is only taken for the lessons left in the term.
  • Coaching fees for the Spring Term will increase by £1 per session (like for the Autumn term). However if you sign up from the start of the course you will only pay the old price. Thereafter, the increase will come into effect
  • Any refunds for individual sessions due to coach absence will be issued at the end of term.

Juniors

Tennis is a fun and exciting way for young children to get into the world of tennis.  
Unless stated otherwise, all courses are suitable for players of both sexes, from those who may have played a little to those who have been playing a while.
The age ranges are just a guide and we can be flexible. Our older 'Juniors’ are normally ages 11 to 17 years old and in school years 7-12 but can be younger if that is the right course for them.
