We're excited to share that Horsell Tennis Club is entering a new chapter, with a refreshed focus on coaching, community, and Club life.
As part of this purposeful step forward, we're delighted to welcome Jamie and Luke as our new coaching team. Both bring not only strong credentials but also fresh energy, ideas, and a commitment to developing tennis at every level within our Club.
Over the coming weeks, Jamie and Luke will be working closely with us to shape a revitalised programme of coaching, social play, and events designed to bring more people onto court and strengthen the Club community.
Notes from the coaching team;
'We have both been coaching on court for over 15 years, working with an array of differing standards from beginners to aspiring professionals. Our one fundamental within all of our sessions is that you enjoy your time on court. If you are having fun, you will always progress. Everyone has their own journey to make through tennis, and we're excited to help you along the way.'
Adult Coaching
As of this Friday we will be starting the new era of adult coaching at Horsell Tennis Club. We plan to accommodate all abilities within the membership with sessions running throughout the week. Here is a brief breakdown of some of the existing changes coming in to place;
- 5 week beginner courses running throughout the year. Ideal for those looking to learn the basics and set up a great foundation to begin their tennis journey
- Cardio Tennis! A fast and active session combining physical exercise and tennis. Suitable for all levels
- Coach led club nights on a Monday, set up to encourage more participation with a more efficient set up
- Drop in sessions, allowing for more flexibility with no need to commit to the whole course (excluding beginner courses)
- All sessions just £10/h
We would like to see as many players on court through the early weeks, and this will help us grow the programme in a direction that suits yourselves. Please use the discount code 'Welcome' which will give you a free session when signing up online. This will be valid until to the 22nd June.
Cardio Tennis
Cardio Tennis is a high-energy group fitness class that uses tennis as a platform for an effective workout. It combines the elements of tennis with a variety of drills and activities performed to music, focusing on cardio fitness and full-body exercise
Beginner Course
We have created a 5 week bespoke course aimed to give the players the fundamentals to go on and start their tennis journey. These courses will take place throughout the year.
Sunday 22nd June- 20th July 1-2pm
Beginner/Improver Drills
Our improver drills session focuses on developing and refining specific tennis skills and techniques through structured practice exercises. These sessions typically involve a variety of drills designed to improve footwork, agility, stroke production, and game-play understanding.
Intermediate/Advanced Drills
Our intermediate drills session focuses on developing and refining specific tennis skills and techniques through structured practice exercises. These sessions typically involve a variety of drills designed to improve footwork, agility, stroke production, and game-play understanding. Being an intermediate drills session, we expect the pace to be faster of both movement and the tennis balls.
Junior Coaching
We're pleased to announce that our junior coaching programme will be back up and running from Sunday 15th June! This early summer block is a great way to get back on court ahead of our exciting new junior programme launching in full from mid-July. Lots more details to follow soon!
Here is a glimpse of some of the changes we have made so far:
- Ages now starting from 4yrs old
- Sessions running alongside each other to help juniors progress through the programme
And on the way:

- Introduction to some friendly competitions for those who want to put their hard work to the test.
