Wall Heath Tennis Club

Welcome to the coaching page. We are always looking to develop our programme to meet the needs of members and those looking to give tennis a try. Our current programme is set out below but if you have any requests we are ready to listen.

After a challenging year last year, we are aiming to add some family sessions to the programme and a variety of social tournaments geared to all levels and ages.

Keep an eye out for the new LTA Youth courses coming up soon. These are a great way for young children to learn the game.

Please make any enquiries regarding coaching to Adrian Hyde (Head Coach).
