Spring term 2020 Junior programmes and personal tuition
Stephen's Autumn 2019 junior coaching schedules can be viewed and downloaded here. The Spring 2020 Coaching Schedule can be viewed and downloaded here. Coaching is weekly (or more frequently for Aspirates players) and helps younger members aged 4 - 18 to enjoy their tennis in the cooler months. Those younger juniors who sign up to the Apirates programme get the opportunity for more intensive training (two or three times a week).
Stephen has expanded his coaching so that either he or a member of his team is available at the club on any day of the week.
Our adult classes cater for complete beginners as well as more advanced players. Currently we aim to run a class for adult intermediate players on Tuesdays 7:30 to 8:30 (included with the junior schedule). As the class is a intermediate class we cater for players that have a little bit of experience of playing tennis. If you use to play tennis many years ago and would like to get back into it, this is also the right class for you. The class takes place in a very relaxed environment with a great coach. You don't even need your own racquet as we have racquets you can borrow! The details of the sessions are below.
Dates: Tuesdays
Time: 7:30 -8:30 pm
Cost: £51 members, £66 non-members for six weeks..
