We're delighted to be running the Arthur Ackerley Coaching Programme again for a second and final year. This 6-week course runs on Saturdays from 1pm to 2pm, starting on 7th June 2025. It's aimed at beginners or relative beginners who are new to the club, and is completely FREE. All we ask is that you commit to the 6-week course.

The course honours one of its long-term members who died in January 2024. Arthur Ackerley played at a high level all over the world, and was still playing tennis into his late 80s.

As Arthur had a passion for welcoming people to the game, his family and friends contributed to a generous memorial fund in his name, to enable the club to offer free adult beginner coaching and introduce new people to the pleasure that tennis can bring. 

The course is scheduled to allow attendees to stay on and join our regular Saturday 'Rusty Racquets' group at 2pm should they wish to do so.
