Courses & Schedules
We run weekly sessions in term time and holiday camps during the Easter, Summer, Christmas and half-term holidays.
Weekly lessons are held every Sunday with almost 40 players signed up over 5 sessions. Ages range from 6 to 18 years and are aimed at players of all abilities.
The sessions are grouped by ability, with young players progressing up the ability ladder as they improve.
Sessions are run by our very experienced Level-3 coach, and are paid for on a termly basis.
Holiday camps run for several hours over one or two days during school holidays. These can be an excellent opportunity for young players to improve quickly.

We have equipment available to new players including rackets and eye protection goggles. All you need are some clean, non-marking trainers and lightweight clothing to run around in.
