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.

- 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.
