Cardio tennis is a fun, fast paced basket drilling sessions mixed with fun games. This session is generally coached to music and no level is required so it’s a great entry for new players and beginners but likewise social and team players a can get involved. It beats the boredom at the gym! Booking is essential as places are limited. Please note that we can only offer refunds of places cancelled 48 hours in advance. There are minimum numbers to allow this to run each week.

10.30am - 11.30am: Adult Doubles Tactics for Social Matchplay - Intermediate and advanced

This course will have a focus on developing match play in social doubles. This would be appropriate for players that have some experience of playing social doubles and/or have attended rusty rackets or the last programme on developing social tennis doubles. Please note you must be 18+ to book these sessions.

11:30am - 12:30pm: Adult Beginner Course

This adult beginner tennis coaching course is suitable for all adults who are new to tennis. This course will introduce you to the basic strokes such as forehand, backhand and serve and set you on the pathway towards playing some social tennis and beyond. It will be supportive and reassuring in approach. All you need to do is bring yourself with a positive approach and ideally a racket although we do have some spare ones if you haven’t your own!
