Please note that the total fee for the session block includes a £5 charge. This is to cover essential court maintenance and general Club running.

Although ages have been assigned to each stage, this is just a guide. We understand children want to play in groups and with their friends, so whatever stage they start at, all children will see the progression. In every stage, children will be active, have fun, and develop skills.

 

  • Age 4 to 6 - we’ll help children improve their balance, agility, and coordination while teaching them about tennis. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing, it’s just getting to grips with the basics.
  • Age 6 to 8 - overarm serves, rallies, and volleys. We'll help children to further develop their coordination, balance, and speed with the introduction of relaxed competition.
  • Age 8 to 9 - some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage, children will know the rules and aim to serve and return in matches.
  • Age 9 to 11+ - playing on full-size courts, growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far.
