Junior Tennis Coaching is on Saturdays. It runs all year and when the weather is bad during the winter months we move inside into the sports hall at The Queen Katherine School which is just over the road from our courts.
Our new season 2024 sessions are now underway. Courses are led by our Club Coach, James Wright who's an LTA Level 3 coach and our Junior Secretary Erica Ferreira who's an LTA Level 2 coach with our LTA Coaching Assistants Issy and Evie. For more details please contact James on 0785500 1858 or email jawright@twschools.com. You can claim 10% discount if your child is a member of Kendal Tennis Club.
We have a strong safeguarding culture at Kendal Tennis Club, please see our Safeguarding page for details.
Kendal Junior Members also benefit from lots of additional free sessions, access to the courts at any time, competitions and more. It costs just £19 for Primary age children and £25 for secondary age. We strongly recommend club membership if your child is taking part in Saturday coaching, it will really help their tennis and it's great fun too. Join up on our Membership page. You can also join as a Buddy member and play tennis with your child outside of structured club events.
In 2024 we will continue to help our Junior players to develop their confidence and tennis skills by playing more matches.
We're holding TWO junior sessions a month on the first and third Sunday from 12 – 1.30pm.
The first Sunday is for red/orange players and the third Sunday is for green /yellow players. These will be structured around competitive play, working to current LTA rules and guidelines for junior tennis. Players (and willing parents!) will learn how to score and will gain a better understanding of tennis rules and etiquette. We will be reintroducing our ‘tennis ladder’ for each age group too, with prizes each month!
The inclusion of yellow ball means that we hope some of our senior school tennis players will join us this year too.
If you are a junior member, these sessions are FREE, but non – members may take part at a fee of £5 per session.
Please let Erica know the Saturday evening before, that you will attending each session as this is necessary in terms of organising matches and the order of play.

Our Junior Club Championships took place towards the end of the season so hopefully and you can see how everyone got in on our 2023 Junior Champs page.
We want to nurture a new young generation of Kendal tennis players who’ll enjoy getting to know the game while making friends, having fun and developing their confidence. It's not the winning, it's the taking part and having a brilliant time that matters. If you know of any budding players, please think about encouraging them to come along.
Tennis club membership for a whole year is cheaper than a single riding lesson, in fact, it’d be a great birthday present for the small people in your life!

Junior players under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at our courts unless they are taking part in an organised activity like a club junior session or coaching.
