Coaching
Tennis 2021
December update - Sorry, might have lights but could do with a roof. Rain, snow and general unpredictability of weather has stopped our scheduled coaching sessions for now, will look to restart in Feb. Watch out for dates in newsletters and on Facebook.
With the addition of floodlights all ourcoaching sessions will continue to run through the winter, only rain, snow or ice will stop us!
Our ususal junior and adult group coaching are run by LTA Level 3 Coach Alison Kelly. She is also available to book if you want some individual or small group coaching. Email on [email protected] and mention WIthnell Fold.

Adults - Whether you've just discovered tennis or been playing a while if you want to improve we now have some coaching sessions available. Adults in this case means 13/14+.
We'll be starting off with three options - run by LTA Level 3 coach Alison Kelly on Tuesdays, 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.
6pm Adult Beginners - Just started, know which end of a racquet to hold but that's about it. Work on technique for all the basic strokes including serving plus scoring and playing social games.
7pm Adult Improvers - Can rally (sometimes) and have fun playing but want more consistency and variety of shots. Improve your technique, power and court positioning.
8pm Adult Advanced - Regular match/team player, practice drills to embed shot making, work on tactics, doubles play and strategy.
