NEW! Free 1-2-1 tuition for budding tennis juniors at Devizes Tennis Club
Mon, 11 Nov 2019 00:00
At Devizes Tennis Club we believe you’re never too young to pick up a tennis racket and are proud to offer an extensive junior training programme which allows kids to start playing from as young as 2.
Many of today’s tennis greats started playing at a young age, Coco Gauff was 6, Serena Williams just 4 and our very own Andy Murray was only 3.
In order to help young talented players at the club meet their full potential, we are excited to be launching a new initiative that will provide budding tennis superstars with free 1-2-1 tuition and mentoring.
Who can participate in this new initiative?
The initiative is open to existing and new Junior Club members born in 2013 or later.
How does a Junior Club member qualify for free 1-2-1 tuition/mentoring?
To qualify for free 1-2-1 tuition (30 minutes per week) a Junior member simply needs to participate in two paid group tennis activities per week – this can include Pay & Play on Saturday/Sunday BUT must include at least one of the following group lessons:
What exactly is the free 1-2-1 tuition?
Those who qualify will be eligible for a weekly 30-minute 1-2-1 training session (term-time only) with one of our Junior Coaches (all of whom are Level 1 LTA accredited, First Aid Trained and DBS checked) at Devizes Tennis Club.
When you register for the initiative, you will be assigned and introduced to your dedicated 1-2-1 coach, who you can then contact directly to arrange your free 1-2-1 sessions (and any additional 1-2-1 coaching should you wish).
Note all sessions are subject to availability but our coaches will always do their best to find a day/time that works for you.
How long will a Junior Club member get free tuition for?
Six months.
How do we get started?
If you believe your child already meets all the eligibility criteria for free 1-2-1 tuition, please contact Head Coach Will Baillie.
Likewise, if you’re interested in taking advantage of this initiative but aren’t yet eligible, please contact Will who will be happy to assist you in identifying how you can qualify.
My child was born before 2013, can they not have 1-2-1 tuition?
All Junior Club members can book 1-2-1 tuition with members of our coaching team. Details and prices can be found on the website. If you’d like some advice regarding which coach can best meet your child’s needs, please contact Head Coach, Will Baillie.
