At PLTC we run junior coaching programmes that follow closely the North Somerset school term. During school holidays we often run fun tennis holiday camps for children aged 4 to 10 years.
Our Junior coaching programme is designed for children of all ages and abilities. The programme follows the LTA mini tennis structure with different ball colours for the correct age group.
