Which standard/level of coaching would be right for me?
There's more information about player ability levels and course types here, but briefly ...
Adult Beginner / Improver Sessions are for those who can hit the basic shots and for those that are returning to tennis.
Adult Intermediate Sessions are for regular players who have attended before and for those who have a good knowledge of the game and are capable of playing doubles.
Adult Advanced Sessions are for more experienced players and will focus on drills and tactics to win!
Junior and Mini Tennis Sessions are organised by age group and colour coded. These sessions focus on a range of ativities, skills and games covering basic agility, balance and co-ordination. The main priority is always to have FUN!
Which coach would be best for me?
If you're unsure which coach would suit you best, or if you have a special requirement or preference feel free to e-mail the club using this link or ask the coaches directly. Contact details below.
What is the cancellation policy?
A full 24 hours notice is required for cancellations. If you can, please give more - someone else might like to take your place! The coaches will also try to give 24 hours hours notice (but see below about bad weather on the day).
What happens in bad weather? Or the threat of bad weather?
We are fortunate to have the Brailsford Centre on Ffriddoedd Road, Bangor available as an alternative indoor venue if the weather is bad. However, this is always subject to availability. If the Brailsford Centre isn't available and your session has to be cancelled because of the weather, your booking will be rolled over to the next suitable date or your money refunded.
If there is an element of doubt though, the coaches will make a judgement call 1 hour before the session is due to commence. If in doubt, call the coach for confirmation.
