Junior Classes

At Steyning Tennis Club, I run after school junior groups on a Monday, Thursday and Friday. There are 10 groups to choose from to suit a variety of ages and standards. The full list can be found on the Matthews Tennis Coaching app.

I operate as part of Matthews Tennis Coaching, which also runs coaching at other local clubs, as well as other sessions at Steyning coached by Ruby Lane.

Bookings are now open for the 2024 Autumn Term. You can look below at the list of all the junior sessions that I will be coaching in the Autumn Term. Alternatively, if you would prefer to speak to me first, please drop me an email juliasearle31@gmail.com, or contact me via WhatsApp 07816 004 992. All sessions, including those run by Ruby Lane, are also available to book on the Matthews Tennis Coaching app.

Players on the Junior Coaching Programme must become club members

Please note that all participants in the after school junior programme must be members of Steyning Tennis Club. This is great value (an annual membership is only £36 for a mini membership 10 & Under, or £67 for a junior membership 11 & Over). Our membership year begins on April 1st 2024 - if you are signing up part way through the membership season, you will only pay for the remaining months.

Prime Video Youth Girls

You will have heard of this amazing programme that we are priviliged to be a part of. The programme began in 2023 with 250 coaches across the country selected to participate. Steyning Tennis Club were one of the most successful in increasing the number of girls involved in tennis and, as a result, I was selected as one of 8 coaches to attend the WTA event in Stuttgart with the LTA. Our programme has continued in 2024 and are girls-only sessions are now here to stay!

We have two girls-only sessions running on Fridays 4.30-5.15 (year 2-6) and 5.15-6.00 (year 8-12). These are now available to be booked via the Matthews Tennis Coaching app. 

However, we would also encourage some of our girls to join our other groups which are mixed. Please check the app to see what other days and times might suit you.

 

Term Dates 2024/2025

Autumn Term 2024-Julia's junior groups

Mondays will start on 2nd September 2024. Thursdays and Fridays will start the following week on 12th and 13th September. The final week for all sessions will be w/c 9th December. If any sessions in this term are cancelled due to weather/other, then an additional session on during w/c 16th December will be held. There are no sessions during the w/c 28th October due to Half Term.

Payments for our junior groups

We use a subsciption model for our junior groups. In summary, the payment for 36 junior sessions per year is spread over 12 equal monthly payments (therefore, as a reminder, you will all have an August payment even though there are no sessions).

The cost per class works out as £7.50 for an hour's class and £6.67 for a 45 minute class. If you attend two or more sessions per week, the rate is reduced. For example, the rate is £6.50 if you sign up to 2 x hour classes per week.

If and when you wish to cancel your subscription, please let us know with a month's notice. For example, if you let us know in July, it is likely that your August payment will still happen and then your subscription will be cancelled. We are keeping track of when you initially subscribed and how many sessions have taken place since then to ensure that the amount paid has been fair to you.
