Coaching

We have a team of 7 full and part-time Lawn Tennis Association licensed and registered coaches. Their role and aim is to help and support players so that they can make the most of their time on court, improve their skills and maximise their enjoyment of the game

All our coaches are qualified to a high standard and keep their licences up to date by continuing their own coach education. They work with players of all ages and abilities - from total beginners right up to coaching for nationally rated players
