Supervising Children
Children under the age of 8 are required to have parental supervision whilst at our venue and not participating in any venue sessions, such as coaching lessons or tennis camps.
For coaching activities, we comply with the LTA guidance on coach-to-player ratios. For children aged under 6, a parent or carer must remain near the coaching group for the duration of the session. For children aged under 11, children must be delivered directly into the care of the coach by the parent and picked up directly from the coach. Please note that it is not enough to drop off outside or at the front door of the venue. Parents must ensure that their child has been delivered to the coach. Children under the stipulated age will not be allowed to leave a coaching session or camp unattended unless prior permission has been given.
