At Alsager Tennis Club, we endeavour to develop the skills required to play tennis' for all ages and abilities. There are many considerations when setting coach / player ratios. Ultimately the responsibility lies with the coach and the tennis club .When setting ratios, the coach and venue will ensure:

• On court activity is safe 
• On court activity is delivered with quality 
• On court activity represents good value for money 
• Supervision of children will not be compromised in the event of an emergency (or other situation) that requires the coach to leave the court/club 

Coach / player ratios will vary depending on the following factors:

• The age of players 
• The facilities available 
• The activity taking place 
• The level & experience of the coach 

It is not possible to give definitive guidance on coach / player ratios due to the considerations above. However, as a useful starting point the table below provides general guidance on coach / player ratios for coaching delivered at optimum quality. At Alsager Tennis Club, we strive to better these ratios, especially when teaching the younger age-groups, who we know benefit from more individual attention.
