The coaching programme at HTTC is provided by All Inclusive Tennis. We aim to offer sessions for players of all ages and abilities in a friendly and welcoming environment and pride ourselves on making sessions fun and inclusive. We have worked hard over the last few years to further develop our inclusive tennis programme and we are proud to say we now run 4 sessions a week working closely with local groups and schools.
