  • Registration must be made using clubspark. 
  • Group sessions will run in almost all weather conditions. If a session is to be cancelled then the coach will message the group. On even rarer occasions a decision will have to be made at the start of a session and this would be based on the individual nature of the group.

  • Summer Term 2025 Programme runs from Tuesday 22 April to Sunday 27 July.
  • Autumn Term 2025 Programme runs from Monday 1 Sept to Sunday 14 Dec.

Juniors

Tennis is a fun and exciting way for young children to get into the world of tennis.  
Unless stated otherwise, all courses are suitable for players of both sexes, from those who may have played a little to those who have been playing a while.
The age ranges are just a guide and we can be flexible. Our older 'Juniors’ are normally ages 11 to 17 years old and in school years 7-12 but can be younger if that is the right course for them.
