Junior Squads

We have junior after-school squads for those aged from 5-17 years old and from beginner to advanced level players. At Spencer Tennis we aim to deliver the highest quality group coaching sessions that work on perfecting our juniors techniques as well as preparing them tactically for matches and competition. To ensure we continue to keep standards high, we work to maximum coach:student ratio of 1:8

IMPORTANT: To enrol your child for any junior course you MUST first register as a parent/guardian with the LTA. You will get a login ID which you can use to book courses on our website.

The Autumn 2024 after-school squads will start up on the week-of September 9th and run until the week of December 9th. They are listed below and are available to book. It's a 13 week cycle with a break for the half term in the last week of October.

Any queries you have regarding booking or finding the right squad don't hesitate to contact Dave Watts our head coach on headcoach@spencertennis.com 

We also run a fun after-school social session every Friday evening during term time. The 4.30pm-6pm session is a red/orange ball group and suitable for 6-10 years and the 6pm-7.30pm group is for years 11 and over. You do not need to book for this, just turn up on the day and pay £5 (members) or £10 (non-members). 

 

Mini Red Sessions for 5-8 Year olds - Note - The sessions will be split in to two groups for the majority of the session, each led by an LTA accredited coach. One group will consist of the slightly younger children and one will consist of those that are closer to 7 years old. In some cases the older group will use orange balls instead of red ones.

Cancellations, Credits and Refunds. If a squad session is cancelled due to bad weather we usually text all parent contacts in advance if possible. At the end of the series of sessions we credit the account of each parent for the session lost and this credit is automatically applied when rebooking another squad for the following term. This credit can also be used if applying for the next holiday/half-term camp as well. If you prefer an actual refund, please contact Dave Watts directly. Please note that we generally only apply credits/refunds for sessions that we cancel (usually bad weather) and not for other reasons except in exceptional circumstances.
