Juniors
We run a vibrant and active juniors programme at Marnhull Tennis Club for ages 5 to 16, including regular hitting practice and coaching. These sessions are led by Norma Amlot with support from John Seear, Helen Butler and our LTA-accredited coach Graham Howell. Check back regularly for news of school holiday coaching and events!
News of coaching and events are updated here as well as in emails to members. Please let us know if you wish to be added to the mailing list.
Marnhull Tennis Club operates a policy of 'age flexibility.' Although we include an age range for our juniors sessions as a rough guide, we are very happy to accommodate experienced younger players in the older coaching groups.
Tuesday After-School Practice Sessions - Finished for 2024
Our after-school tennis sessions have now finished for the 2024 season, but they will return in 2025! Next year, they will run from April 1st to August 26th . If you would like your child to be enrolled in these Tuesday afternoon practice sessions, please contact Norma Amlot no sooner than February 2025. We will try to accommodate as many juniors as we can, but places will be given on a first come, first serve basis.
Practice Partners
For our older junior members (around 10 years plus) we are offering free practice sessions with experienced adult club members. These can be 30 minutes or 1 hour and arranged for either individuals or pairs. If your child is interested, call John Seear on 01258 269743 to discuss possible days and times.
Ball Machine
Our Lobster ball machine can be hired by our junior members free of charge!
Firing from a pre-loaded hopper of 50 special balls, the machine's functionality enables variations of speed, height and court placing. Great practice (and fun) for players of any level. Please do not use ordinary tennis balls as they could damage the machine.
Before first hiring the machine you will need instruction on use. This is available from Tom Lee and requires meeting at the pavilion to go through the necessary steps of access, set up and replacement.
Please contact Tom well in advance to arrange a mutually convenient day and time on marnhulltennisclub@gmail.com.
