Coaching for 2023-24
Pay and Play Sunday Coaching
These sessions cost a bargain £5 for KLTC members. If you are not a member you are welcome to join us for coaching for £8. They are run by our club coach LTA Level 3 coach James Wright via a WhatsApp group: ask James to add you to the Pay As You Play WhatsApp group, he’ll confirm each week's session, you let him know if you can come and play. No obligation to play every week. Contact James Wright for more info and to sign up jawright@twschools.com or 07855 001858
Both sessions are suitable for most players but if you're after a tougher work-out, the earlier one might be for you. And if you fancy a gentler game, maybe try the 5.30 session.
- 4.00 - 5.30
- 5.30 - 7.00
These sessions include coaching, drills and match play and cover everything from the basics we all need - forehands, backhands, serve, volley, court positioning - to more advanced work - tactics, movement and understanding the oppostion - depending on the make-up of the group on the day. They are a safe space - ask anything, no question too daft!
They’re also a great chance to meet other club members to enjoy tennis with. No obligation to play every week, though obviously the more you play, the quicker your game will improve and the more you’ll enjoy it.

Coaching Club Night
This takes place on the first Tuesday of each month from 6.30 – 8.00: coaching, drills and match-play. Normal club night continues after 8.00. We reckon it's a bargain at just £5. Club members only. Please bring cash.
Juniors and Families
Our junior coaching, led by coach James Wright, takes place on Saturdays and in 2022 more than a hundred primary school age children really enjoyed their introduction to tennis in tutor groups that vary in size from 8-12. Coaching contines all year round and there are a few spaces left for some age groups. Contact James for details. If the junior players in your family want some extra coaching Erica Ferreira, our Level 2 LTA coach offers individual or family coaching. ekhzim@hotmail.com
