Coaching Programme
Andy and Natalie have designed a new coaching programme starting from March 1st and will aim to cater for children aged 4 upwards all the way up to adults. The programme runs to the school term and generally runs in blocks of between 5-7 weeks. To attend the squads, you must join up for the course (paid per half term) but we offer a FREE taster session to all new players to try the session before committing to sign up.
Classes
Below is a list of classes that we currently run and who the classes are appropriate for:
- Red 2- Our first level of Mini Red aimed at newcomers to tennis aimed at children aged 4-7
- Red - When children have mastered the basics and understanding of each stroke they move to Mini Red 1 where they should be able to rally and score a simple match (aged 6-9)
- Mini Orange- When children can consistently rally and score they move to Mini Orange which is played over a bigger net with a bigger court and a low compression felt ball (aged 8-10)
- Mini Green - After moving through Mini Orange children move to a full sized court using a new, higher bouncing (green) ball. They develop their strokes and tactics preparing themselves for the Junior classes and full ball (aged 10-12).
- Juniors - Our first full ball junior squad. For older juniors who are new to tennis or for those who have progressed through the mini tennis programme. Full court singles and doubles game based drills are played in a sociable fun environment (aged 12+).
- Adult Coaching- For adults wanting to improve their game with the help of one of the coaches. Game based drills and match practice incorporated into the sessions. All abilities welcome.
- Adult Social (pay and play)- Organised doubles (mainly) match practice with a coach. A great way to meet other members in a sociable environment.
