Our Partners
Junior Coaching
Our junior tennis programmes have been developed in partnership with the LTA to help players accelerate their learning and development. In addition, we offer a complete schedule of after-school and weekend tennis coaching for players aged four years old and up.
Coaching sessions run throughout the year, including during school holidays for 47 weeks of the year. In addition, the programme breaks for Bank Holidays, Easter (one week), Summer (two weeks) and during the Christmas break (two weeks). This helps provide a consistent approach to learning and nurturing player development.
Players can sign up for our weekly programme by taking out a Coaching Plan. Coaching Plans help parents and players spread the cost of coaching in one affordable monthly fee so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of professional tuition.

LTA Youth Tennis
We run courses for children aged 4 – 18, packed full of fun games and dynamic training. We want kids to bring all their energy to tennis; no ‘quiet please’ needed here.
Never held a racket? No problem, our professional coaches will adapt to each individual, to help bring out their best in a safe, secure environment. All kids need to bring is their creative energy, because the programme is designed to grow as they do. Smaller courts and softer balls develop into the real deal as they pick up all the skills and know-how they need.
It will take your youngster to the next level; you’ll see it in their confidence, their skills and even their concentration at school. Not to mention keeping them fit and active. Add some healthy competition to teach them about good sportsmanship (because we all have bad days) and you’ve got a set of skills for life.
LTA Youth has six stages:
Start: 4-11 years – Introductory six-week course
Blue: 4-6 years – Learn the basics
Red: 6-8 years – Serve, rally and score
Orange: 8-9 years – Develop a rounded game
Green: 9-10 years – Test your skills
Yellow: 10+ years – Take your skills further
N.B. Although we’ve assigned ages to each stage these are just a guide. We’ll always put kids in the relevant group based on their ability.
Start
(Age 4-11)
This is a fun starter course for children who have never played the sport before, or may have played very little. Packed full of fun games and training drills, it also gives parents the chance to join in too.
Blue Stage
Learn the basics (Age 4-6)
This is an introduction to tennis. Here, we’ll help kids improve their balance, agility and coordination while teaching them about the sport we love. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing, it’s just getting to grips with the basics.
Red Stage
Serve, rally and score (Age 6-8)
This will look a bit more like the tennis you know. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination, balance and speed. We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too.
Orange Stage
Develop a rounded game (Age 8-9)
Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage, children will know all of the rules and will be serving and returning in matches.
Green Stage
Test your skills (Age 9-10)
This is the big one. It’s time for kids to play on full-size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far.
Yellow Stage
Take your skills further (Age 10+)
Time to find your game. Playing on a full-size court with the same size balls the pros use, kids will continue to explore different styles on the court, and start to choose their own.
Private Lessons
What better way to fast track your improvement than with a one-on-one coaching session – an hour (or two) just for you to develop those areas of your game most important to you!
Individual or small group coaching is a great way of accelerating your learning. Tennis can be a challenging game to master and group coaching is a great way to get started. 1:1 time with a qualified coach can help you improve your game over a period of time. Many players like to supplement their group learning sessions with individuals to get the best of both worlds.
Individual coaching with our coaches will accelerate learning, improve confidence, help master technique, offer the opportunity to give your practice or group sessions a focus, and it’s a great workout.
You can choose to go it alone or you may wish to organise a small group (up to 2 players) or play with a friend to share the cost.
To book and for more information please contact us
Adult Coaching
Whether you are a regular club player or a newbie to tennis, we have coaching sessions to accommodate the needs of any adult tennis player.
We provide a complete coaching experience for adult players and have a number of weekly coaching sessions to help you improve your game, meet new friends and improve your fitness.
Coaching sessions run throughout the year for 47 weeks of the year. Players can sign up for our weekly programme by taking out a Coaching Plan. Coaching Plans have been developed to help parents and players spread the cost of coaching in one affordable monthly fee, so everyone can enjoy the benefits of professional tuition.

Overview
Tennis is great fun and is accessible to all ages and skill levels. But there are other benefits to picking up a racket and playing…
As well as serving up plenty of smiles, tennis is good for your physical and mental health. It can help lower body fat while improving muscle toning, strength and flexibility. It can even help you to live longer.
In terms of mental health, exercise is hugely important in maintaining a good state of mind. Playing a game of tennis will release those happy endorphins to help you feel great!
It is also a fantastic way to spend some time with family and friends and will provide you with the opportunity to meet new people.
We offer a complete coaching experience for adult tennis players and even offer a free trial session, so you can try a coaching session first. We offer group sessions at each level of play, including a range of courses, clinics and drop-in sessions.
Standards Guide
To enjoy tennis, players want to play with people of a similar standard. We understand this and therefore have adopted a standards guide to help determine which coaching sessions are right for you:

Holiday Camps
Our Holiday Camps offer a combination of professional coaching, fun games/activities and tennis competition for players of all ages and standards during school holidays.
We create the optimal environment to challenge players at any level of play, whether they want to be the next Roger Federer, looking to try out tennis for the first time, or looking for a fun-filled time on the court. Our focus is to provide a safe holiday camp experience with highly stimulating activities delivered by positive, inspiring coaches.
As part of these camps, you can guarantee a high energy day of tennis and coordination development; our coaching team will teach the children the FUNdamentals of tennis improving technique while challenging their coordination with lots of drills, games and activities.
Recently we introduced a new LTA Youth Team Challenge format to our camps. This is a national initiative by the LTA, a fun competition designed for mini and junior tennis players. Players compete in small teams for points over a short series of challenges, with players receiving certificates, stickers, prizes and medals for their efforts! Each holiday camp will have a different Team Challenge fun theme which will guide the fancy dress and sticker concepts for that camp!
We have two types of camps:
- Mini Camps: For players aged 5 – 10 years old
- Junior Camps: For players aged 11 – 15 years old
