We are proud to offer coaching throughout the whole year, keeping our players active and involved throughout the seasons. Our aim is to never cancel a session – a coach will be at the venue, as long as it is safe to do so.

Safety

The safety of our players, parents and coaches is paramount and we will not run sessions on courts that are unsafe to play. Coaches may adapt sessions to involve more static play and reduce footwork in some cases but will always make an informed judgement of how playable the courts are in wet weather before allowing players onto court.

On very hot days, our coaches will ensure that players are safe by providing time in the shade and plenty of drinks breaks.

Please help us by ensuring children are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions –

A waterproof jacket and grippy shoes in wet weather

Plenty of layers, hat, and gloves in cold weather

During the summer months, we would like to remind our players and particularly parents of juniors to remember the following before coming onto court -

☀Wear a high SPF Sun cream and reapply as necessary 

🧢😎 Wear a hat and sunglasses 

💦 Bring a full water bottle onto court - these can of course be refilled at the club. Juniors regularly come to sessions without a water bottle so please do ensure they have one for their session

Our coaches will ensure players get regular drink breaks and adjust sessions according to the weather conditions

Enjoy the sunshine, safely 🌞

Adverse weather plan

When it is not possible to be on court, our coaches will use available indoor space to run activities and games to develop tennis knowledge, tactical skills, fitness, and sportsmanship. We will always try to get the children on court whenever possible, but we feel that these sessions are also valuable in providing a comprehensive and well-rounded grasp of the game and build relationships between other players and coaches.

Cancellations – In the event that a session needs to be cancelled, we will always strive to inform you as early as possible, via ClubSpark. You will then be offered a catch-up session, or a credit towards future courses.
