JUNIOR GROUP COACHING - Status - Wednesday 8th January 2025- Please check here for status update on Monday 6th January.

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 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 but 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.

FOR OLDER CHILDREN, OUR JUNIOR COACHING PROGRAMME IS AS FOLLOWS:

Wednesday Juniors Beginners Coaching Group

Coaching in this group is tailored to the younger players aged 5 and older and those new to tennis aged up to 8 years. Players use 'Red/Orange' balls and the group tends to be smaller which allows the coach(es) to focus more attention on each player. The group is for an hour on Wednesdays starting at 4.30pm.  Please click on the link below to book each half term and note that you can join after the course starts; the fees are reduced pro-rata:
