Yes! Holiday camps run during school holidays and can be booked as part of the main programme (annual or termly bookings) or separately.

Dress warmly with hats, gloves, and thick socks for winter sessions. Session times may be adjusted to accommodate shorter daylight hours.

5. What happens if I miss a session?

Recommended racket sizes:

Adult rackets are typically 27 inches in length, weighing between 260g and 310g. Women often prefer rackets between 255g–295g, and men tend to choose heavier rackets (300g+). Larger racket head sizes offer more forgiveness if you don’t hit the sweet spot. String patterns vary by personal preference.

Tennis uses traditional game scoring of 15, 30, 40, and game, plus tie-break scoring with specific rules. You’ll learn all about scoring in your coaching sessions.

9. What’s the earliest age children can start coaching?

We recommend starting from age 3.

10. What shoes should I wear?

Tennis shoes are best, designed to provide stability for tennis-specific movements. Choose shoes suited to your court surface — clay, hard, or grass.

Tennis etiquette includes understanding the rules and principles of fair play and respect, such as shaking hands after matches, not talking during points, and not crossing courts during play.
