AFTER SCHOOL SQUADS FOR THE SUMMER 2026 TERM ARE LISTED BELOW AND ARE AVAILABLE TO BOOK NOW.

The after-school squads and Friday social sessions are available to members and non-members and we cater for all ability levels. There are Red and Orange Ball sessions Monday to Thursday and a variety of Green/Yellow Ball squads on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

We have replicated the same set of squads as we had for the Spring 2026 term and we hope to welcome you back on the week of April 13th for the Summer term. Please make sure that you sign up for the correct squad if your child switched squads during last term and also that you include your mobile number in your profile so that we can contact you should we need to cancel a session due to bad weather. If you've not signed up with us before, don't worry. You can always try a session or come to a Friday social and the coaches on duty will make some suggestions for squads that might be appropriate. 

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. Be sure to include mobile numbers and email addresses so we can notify you when a session is cancelled due to bad weather.

The Summer term 2026 after-school squads will begin on Monday 13th April and run until Thursday July 16th. They are all listed below. It's a long 14 week cycle (due to Easter falling early this year) with a break for the half term in the week of May 25th. We have increased our prices by £1 per session so that we can pay the coaches a little extra. We hope that this is acceptable to you. Any credits on your account for cancelled sessions in the Spring term will be automatically applied and deducted when you pay for the Summer term.

If you're interested in joining a squad and have never been to Spencer before, a good idea is to attend one of our Friday kids socials (delails below) as it gives our coaches a chance to assess new faces and suggest a squad that suits their ability level. 

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 

FRIDAY EVENING JUNIOR SOCIAL SESSIONS

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). THE FIRST FRIDAY SOCIAL SESSION OF THE SUMMER TERM WILL TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY 17th April. These sessions take place every Friday during term time unless the weather is really awful!

HERE IS THE LIST OF AFTER-SCHOOL SQUADS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR THE SPRING TERM 2026

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. There is one Red Ball session every day Monday-Thursday. Sessions are 45 mins duration and are a great introduction to tennis for young children.

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.

Safeguarding 

The club strictly follows all LTA guidelines with regards to safeguarding in order to ensure our juniors enjoy their tennis in a safe and healthy environment. To read more about our safeguaridng policy click here.
