Adult Coaching

Group coaching for adults runs throughout the year so that members can keep practising and developing their skills and court craft.

We organise mixed ability group coaching, run by our LTA licensed coach Damian Lane.

Sessions last 60 or 90 minutes with a mix of drills, skills development and match play, ideal for anyone looking to improve and develop their game. Strong junior players are also welcome at the Adult coaching sessions.

And new for 2025, Damian Lane is running occassional Pickleball clinics on Sunday afternoons.

Typical Programme 

We typically run adult coaching on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings. Older juniors who are comfortable playing with adults are welcome to attend.

Tuesday evening sessions usually include a mix of the following options:

  • "Doubles Tactics": this session is focused on understanding and practising strategies for doubles play, including court positioning
  • Technical Clinic: each week there is a focus on improving one of the tennis strokes 
  • "Drills, Tactics and Match Play": designed for improving and intermediate players,  this session includes a mix of drills, skill development, tactics and match play to help players develop their game in a supportive environment
  • "High Energy Drills",  aimed at confident players and limited to 8 participants, these sessions includes lots of running and hitting to improve skills and movement around the court
  • "Back to Tennis": aimed at players that have not been on court for many years and wish to be reintroduced to tennis. It's suitable for improvers and "rusty racquets" and runs in the Spring and Summer.

Sunday morning sessions usually include the following options:

  • "Next Step Tennis", for players who have progressed from "Start to Play", have been attending Back to Tennis or are improvers looking to build their skills and confidence on court. It's limited to 8 players
  • "Start to Play", designed for players who are completely new to tennis and want to learn the basics in a supportive environment. The programme runs from May to the end of August and  is also suitable for older teenagers who are new to tennis. It's limited to 6 players, so book early to ensure a place.
