Coaching FAQ's

How long to courses last for?

Courses run in half terms, in line with the school terms. Each course length is normally between 6-8 weeks. We run couirses all year round, along pausing during school holidays. 

How much do sessions cost?

Session costs differenlt depending on the type of the session, age group of the session and the length of the session.  Standard children's sessions cost £6 for 1 hour for members of the club, and £7 for non-members. We also run 45 min sessions at a reduced rate. Standard sessions are booked as part of a course, with the system automatically reducing the cost of each courses depending on how many sessions remain in the course. I also run pay as you go sessions on Monday evenings.

Can I join part way through a course?

Yes! Each session generally has a them that follows on from the previous session, with each course aiming to link all sessions together. However, you dont need to be part of a full course to be able to take part and enjoy them!

Can myself or my child try out a session before signing up for a course?

Yes! I offer 1 free trial session to everyone that has not taken part in a free session before. To book a free trial please contact me via my email (MattHillmanTennis@hotmail.com) or my mobile (07503747433).

Do I need to own my own racquet to take part in lessons?

No! I can supply all of the equipment, including racquets, for lessons. Please let me know prior to your lesson if you require a racquet to borrow, so it can be organised before the sessions starts.

What happens if the weather is bad?

I try and run sessions whenever is possible, and try not to cancel many sessions. However, if the weather is too bad, and would make the session either miserable or unsafe, I will cancel a session. If a session is going to be canceled players will receive a text as early before the session as possible, letting them know the situation.  You will then receive credit for a free session the following term, so no money is lost.

Myself or child has never taken part in tennis before, and are not very good, will I be OK in the session?

Yes! Everyone is welcome to attend my coaching sessions, and I have sessions for all ages and abilities to allow all to take part.
