Learn to Play

Coaching for both adults and children is provided by Head Coach, Ian Gillespie. Ian is  an LTA registered coach and his aim is to provide social and competitive tennis for people of all ages and abilities in a friendly and enjoyable environment.  Novice players of any age are always welcome.

Juniors

Mini Tennis is a great introduction to the sport for young children between 5 and 10 years old. It’s just like the real thing, but with smaller courts, nets and rackets and lower-bouncing balls. There are four levels of Mini Tennis; Tots, Red, Orange and Green, each with their own court size and type of ball. This tailored approach, based on age and physical maturity enables players to develop vital skills and techniques at an early age.  To learn more about Mini Tennis Click the link  http://www3.lta.org.uk/LTA-Mini-Tennis/    Some coaching for adults, particularly novice players, is highly recommended. We offer a variety of coaching opportunities as follows:-

  • Various coaching sessions, dependant upon age and standard of play, take place on weekday evenings and Saturday morning. Ian will be pleased to  advise you as to which session is appropriate fo you or your children.
  • One-to-one coaching is available for juniors and adults on request
