All our group lessons are run by coaches Julia and Ruby from Matthews Tennis Coaching (MTC)  and follow the exciting new LTA Youth Programme. 

There are lots of sessions catering for all ages from 4 to 18.  To view the full timetable, or to book onto a course, download the Matthews Tennis Coaching app (available on both apple and android). This only takes a couple of minutes, and is very easy to use.  

Children who attend Junior Group Coaching must be club members. If you are not currently a member, please visit our membership page for joining details. If your child is new to tennis and you'd like to try it first before joining the club, you can sign up for the coaching and we'll look at membership after a few sessions.

We also offer drop-in sessions on Saturday mornings between 9.30 and 12.30.  These are pay and play - you don't need to be a member to attend although there is a small additional cost if you're not.  
9.30am age 4-7
10.30am, age 8-11
11.30am, age 11+

The LTA Youth programme makes sure every child has the best start to their tennis journey in a safe and inclusive environment.  It's designed to introduce children as young as four to tennis and all sessions cater to all abilities, so no one gets left behind.  Fun, dynamic coaching helps kids get to grips with the basics of the game, improve their co-ordination and make some new friends along the way. 

The Programme has five different coaching stages, from Blue to Yellow for children aged 4-18, and each stage is tailored to the developmental level of children in that age group. Starting with soft balls on small courts, kids finesse the basics for all sports – like coordination and balance – and then progress to tennis techniques and tactics. By the time they’re at the Yellow stage, they are fine-tuning their game on full-size courts.  In every LTA Youth stage, kids will be active, having fun and developing skills!
