Coaching

We have a team of 6 full and part-time Lawn Tennis Association licensed 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 licence 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

They all have enhanced CRB (Child Protection) disclosure as well as First Aid Training

Coaching programme

Junior coaching (3 - 18)

The club provides a comprehensive programme for all ages and levels of ability. We operate a 4 tier coaching system within each level starting with mini red tennis through to yellow ball tennis. Our coaching scheme is structured so that there is a natural progression from each level to the next. The 4 tiers are:

1st tier - Development

This is for players who have either just started playing or who primarily want to have fun while they are at the club and to keep fit and healthy

2nd tier - Competitive

For young players who are keen to start competing

3rd tier - Club Performance

For players who are showing good ability and a firm commitment to tennis and competing

4th tier - Performance

For players who are demonstrating a strong personal commitment to participate and an ability and a real desire to win tennis matches.
