Here at Salisbury Lawn Tennis Club we offer an extensive junior coaching timetable that is inclusive to all abilities. Whether its our Mini Stars for 3 year olds, or our Under 18 Performance squads, our team of coaches have got the right group for you!
Our Coaches come with years of experience, bags of energy and they cannot wait to get started with you all.
I hope you've all had a wonderful Summer break. As the camps now start to wind down, we turn our attention to the Autumn coaching term. The programme itself will follow the usual format, with a few exciting additions to reflect the growth in the groups.
Attached at the bottom of the page is a link to a google form, please fill out one of these per child. We always start the academic year with one of these to ensure we're on top of all of our registers. As ever I would like to stress, in order to have weekly coaching, the juniors must be a member of the tennis club. If you need to compete a membership form, the link is below.

As the children get older, there is a very good chance that their tennis age group will have changed, which may have an impact on their group choice. To work out which age group your child should be, you can use the LTA age group calculator in the link below. I would add, a child can play "up" out of age group, for example: a 12 year old could still be an under 16 if they wished.

Lots of our juniors are competing at local, county, and national level, which is fantastic to see. If you would like any help with getting your child getting into playing tournaments, I would be very happy to help and encourage this.
As explained on the PDF's also attached, the Autumn term is a long one. You are billed for 11 weeks, but over a 13 week term. This means we have a two week window to make up lessons if they're ever missed for adverse weather. If you would like your child to have additional individual tennis coaching, I would highly recommend this, and we can have this arranged for you at your request.
Due to some of the sessions being under lights, group size may be restricted - so please book early to avoid disappointment. The groups will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with no exceptions. Please also touch base if your child was previously having coaching, and you would like to arrange their weekly slot. All payments are made at the start of the term, other than some 1:1 lessons, which is at the coaches discretion.
We're really looking forward to getting going! As always, thanks for your unbelievable support throughout the year. Any questions, please just ask.
Many thanks and see you on the courts soon.
