Junior Coaching

COACHING STATUS   Wednesday 3rd April:    ON

 Our junior coaching groups operate during school terms, and we offer ‘Tennis Camps’ for juniors during most school holidays. Coaching group and tennis camp details are listed below and, when available, can be booked using the links shown.

To take part in junior group coaching, at least one parent must be registered on the Club’s website. We prefer children undertaking coaching to be junior members of the club. Non-members are welcome to attend junior coaching for a small additional fee - details are given in the booking links. Club membership covers a player's insurance, free access to the courts throughout the year outside group coaching times, and other benefits. Please see our ‘Membership’ page for more details about membership and fees.

  • Activity cards, a lanyard, stickers, and a certificate awarded by the coach at the end of the course.
