Coaching
We welcome players of all standards and can provide coaching. Whether you aspire to play in our teams or are just keen to develop/improve your game, we offer junior and adult coaching at all levels.
We often find that people who have not played for some years are not that keen to join a club because they feel a bit self-conscious. To help you get back into the swing of things, we have set up a special "rusty & beginners" coaching session. These are on Saturday mornings and are timed to coincide with the children's coaching sessions so that all the family can be coached at the same time. There is a similar session on Monday evenings prior to cardio tennis - ask the coaches for details.
As a membership organisation, it is necessary to become a member in order to regularly take part in our coaching sessions. However, to help you decide whether we are the club for you, we now have a 'coaching only' membership for those rusty and beginner players who would like to have coaching before joining the club fully. "Coaching only" members can convert to full membership once the weekly coaching programme ends. See more details on the membership page.
Junior Coaching
During school term time we run junior coaching on Saturday mornings and Thursday afternoons. During the Summer Holidays we run on a Saturday Morning only. Please see the list below.

MONDAY
7.30 - 8.30 - Adult Cardio Tennis
Cardio Tennis is a fun group activity for anyone, at any playing level, looking for a fun way to burn calories & interact with others outside of the gym. It is a high energy fitness session that combines the best features of the sport of tennis with cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, full body, calorie burning aerobic workout. Participants typically burn 300 to 500 calories per hour, so not only are you getting a great workout, but you are also learning a skill and training for tennis!!
You don't have to have played tennis before and you don’t need your own racket, as you can borrow one from the club. Just good sports shoes/trainers, appropriate sports clothing (we would suggest several layers in the colder months), a drinks bottle and a good sense of humour are all you need to bring along!!
