We've recently recruited Bob Clark as Head Coach, who brings extensive experience of coaching juniors and adults both in the UK and abroad. Bob is due to start in early 2026 and we'll update the coaching programme below when he's started.
Adult coaching: please note only Adult Pay and Play Sessions on Tuesday and Friday are currently running
There will be adult coaching sessions on Monday 6:30-7:30 for beginners/improvers.
On Tuesdays Derek Blackmore will be running his pay and play 11-1. Then on Friday afternoon 1-3 is Derek is currently running the pay and play session. Pay and play sessions don't need to be booked - you can turn up on the day and pay the coach via BACS or cash. However, it's helpful if you join the Whatsapp group for these sessions, so please David Wraith at seatontennis@gmail.com in this interim period if you'd like to be added.
Adult non-members can take part in adult coaching programmes and events but must pay an additional court fee of £2 per hour (or £1 per half hour) directly to the club or through the coach.
Junior coaching - please note junior sessions are all currently on hold until our new Head Coach arrives
Junior sessions will be running on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturday mornings.
During school holidays we often run holiday camps- check out our News section or social media accounts for details.
We encourage all juniors receiving regular coaching to become members, with membership starting at just £16 annually. However, junior coaching courses offer a member and non-member rate, with the additional non-member fee contributing to the maintenance and upkeep of the club.
Juniors joining with adults receive a 50% discount on their junior membership fee. - please visit the Join Seaton page for more information.
