Junior Coaching Programme

Our junior coaching programme is led by Henry Park, LTA Accredited Level 2 Tennis Instructor. Henry holds up-to-date DBS certification, is trained in first aid, has completed safeguarding training, and is fully insured—ensuring a safe and professional environment for every young player.

Just like our adult coaching, the junior programme is open to both members and non-members, offering a range of options from regular group sessions to private coaching. Whether your child is a beginner or already an advanced player, we create a fun, inclusive learning space where children aged 4 and up can develop their tennis skills.

In addition, we run School Holiday Tennis Camps and “Get into Tennis” courses throughout the year for all age groups—perfect for newcomers or those looking to sharpen their game.

We use age-appropriate coloured balls to support learning and progression:

• Red / Orange Balls (ages 5–9): Ideal for beginners and intermediate players. These sessions currently take place on Friday afternoons but will move to Thursdays starting September 2025.
• Green Balls (ages 9–13): Sessions also moving to Thursdays from September 2025.
• Yellow Balls (ages 14+): Advanced sessions held Thursdays from 5:15 to 6:00 PM.

Adult Coaching Programme

Whether you're picking up a racquet for the first time or seeking to refine your competitive edge, our adult coaching caters to all levels—from beginners to advanced players. Group sessions and private lessons are available and open to both members and non-members.

Highlights include:

• Cardio Tennis: A high-energy workout combining music, tennis drills, and fitness—no experience necessary, just enthusiasm!  
• Walking Tennis: Designed for those with reduced mobility or returning from injury. Play at your own pace with modified rules: no running, jumping, and a double bounce allowed. All the fun, minus the strain.
• Ladies only Coaching: A dedicated one-hour daytime session tailored exclusively for women, providing a supportive and focused environment to build confidence and skills on court
• Private Tennis Coaching: offers a personalised approach to learning and developing your game. With the full attention of your coach, sessions are completely tailored to your individual goals, whether that's mastering the basics, refining technique, improving match play tactics, or returning to the sport after a break.
• Group Coaching: Designed for everyone from complete beginners and returning players to intermediate-advanced. These sessions offer a supportive path to develop skills and confidence at every level.
