The Group coaching sessions are aimed at players who would class themselves as a club player. They play in arranged fours, play in box leagues, come to club sessions and also maybe the club teams. There will be 8 spaces per session and we will mainly be working on how to make everybody a better and more effective player. This will be mainly focused on tactics and court awareness. The cost is £6 per person, please book in online (the same way as you do for club sessions).

Cardio Tennis/Tennis Drills is purely about improving your fitness. You will hit lots of balls in a fun filled hour of games and drills. The cost is £6 per person, please book in online (the same way as you do for club sessions).

If you are looking to improve a specific area of your game then this is a great way to achieve this. If anybody is interested in Individual lessons then please don't hesitate to contact David Savage, Tom Cosham, or myself.

Finally, it's great to see the courts so busy and my I take this opportunity to wish you all a enjoyable years tennis.
