What to bring?

We suggest you come properly dressed for tennis/sport and appropriate for the weather with sun cream / rain jacket etc. If you have a racket please bring one along. We also suggest you bring a hat, a drinks bottle and of course sweat bands which every tennis player should have!!!

 

Tennis rackets and equipment?

If you don’t have a tennis racket we have rackets to borrow, or the following rackets are also available to purchase

In addition every young player should use appropriate balls to practise with. We have balls for all age groups at £15 per dozen.

 

Do I need to fill in a registration form?

We ask every player to fill out a registration form. We keep these details to ensure we can contact you if sessions are cancelled.

 

Are lessons cancelled in bad weather?

We will always try and run sessions but this is not always possible due to bad weather.

If you don't hear from your coach 45 minutes before the start of the lesson, it will be running. 

You will be notified by text of a cancellation and the message will also be posted on our facebook site here

If it rains after a session has started, the coach will use their experience and discretion in deciding whether to stay outside, or cancel. If we cancel a session then we will either plan another that term, carry fees over for the next term and then reduce your fees accordingly or refund you.
