Content: Starter Tennis (4-8) & Tennis Stars (8 and above). Saturday mornings are particularly important, providing an opportunity for juniors to improve their tennis through dedicated coaching sessions. During the session juniors get priority on all courts. Our main emphasis during the program will be activities that include core tennis skills and games and will cover basic agility, balance and co-ordination, with the main priority being to have FUN and for children to enjoy the game.
Format:
- Work in small groups with a dedicated coach plus assistant (children get to know their coach and others in their group).
- Children assigned groups based on ability.
- If we have to cancel any lessons during the summer at Longhirst due to bad weather, we will credit your account for the cost of the lesson(s) cancelled. Credit can be applied against future bookings with the club.
