Trailing new format for club night

 

 

For 8 weeks from 1st February to 27th March there will be a revised club night schedule.

Tuesday 7pm - 10pm 

Intermediates and Team Players

This session will be aimed at people who have played a fair amount of competitive tennis and/or compete in the SLTC winter and summer league teams. Players should expect a good level of competitive tennis at team level.

Thursday 6.30pm - 10pm

Improvers and Intermediates

This session will be aimed at encouraging players who have progressed through some beginner coaching sessions or are returning to the sport. 

WHAT'S THE REASON BEHIND THE TRIAL?

Recently we've noticed that Club Nights haven't been as well attended as usual. Rather than just sit back and blame the winter weather (we have the Airdome after all so that shouldn't be an issue) we want to:

  • increase participation for all players
  • ensure everyone feels able and welcome to play at a friendly club level
  • use this trial to boost engagement across the whole membership

We suspect that for players who are either new to the club (or have recently taken up or returned to tennis), club night can feel really daunting.

CLUB NIGHTS TO SUIT VARYING SKILLS

Club Nights are an important part of our weekly tennis timetable and we want to see them thrive.

It would be really lovely to see some new faces at all levels and for players to approach this trial with an open mind. Members at a higher level are very welcome to attend either club night but on the understanding that they are willing to mix in and adjust their level of play to the newest members.

 Let's have some tennis fun with new and known faces.
