Adults
Whether you’re just starting out or looking for the winning edge, our selection of adult tennis courses, drop-in, social and individual sessions are designed to fit your schedule and help you achieve your tennis goals. We’ve divided our adult tennis programme into three main categories, so you can find the perfect session.
Beginners
From never played before to being able to get the ball over the net every so often. Starting a rally with an overarm serve will be very new.
Cardio Tennis
Hit, run, side-step, smash, sprint – advantage you. Welcome to tennis, you’re back in the game.
Introducing Smash HiiT, a new full-body, high tempo group workout.

Never played before
Never played beforeWe make starting out all a bit easier by using a smaller court and a ball that behaves exactly as you would want it to when you’re learning the ropes! It’s a 6-week course introducing you to a new skill each week, with the aim of having you rallying, serving and scoring by the end.
Beginner Two's
Beginner Two’s
You’ve completed a beginner’s course and you’re keen to further develop your technique and all-round game. The key to improving your tennis is regular play – C’mon you know it, ready, read, react and recover!

Improvers - Women's session
This is a pay & play session for women only. In this session we cover essential technique and focus on the tactics that will get you playing confidently from the back the court and making decisions about shot selection
RALLY, SERVE, SCORE
Take your game to the next level with Rally, Serve and Score. Each week’s session focuses on a different area of the game, from serving to standing strong on court, you will improve your ability with a mixture of skills training and match play with other players at your level.

The drills will assist your stroke progression and enhance the tactical, technical and physical aspects of your game through set practices either led by the coach or working with a partner. You’ll hit lots of balls, hone your strokes and get court fit.
Do I need a racket?
You don’t need a racket to play, we have plenty. We’ve also got a stack of tennis balls. When we’re at the park we can arrange a racket for you to borrow, we ask for a £10 deposit refundable when the racket is returned.
What should I wear?
Wear what you feel comfortable in, we’d recommend investing in a pair of trainers that prevent your feet moving around and that’s it!
Do I have to book and pay on-line?
We’re happy to take a booking for coaching sessions via email (this maybe a little slower). Paying before in advance of the beginning of the course or session ensures your place is guaranteed.
What if I need to cancel or re-schedule a session?
That’s a-ok as long as you agree this with us 24 hours before the start of your lesson. We’ll either issue with a refund or credit.
What happens if the weather is rubbish?
We’ll pretty much play in all conditions and will stop in heavy and persistent rain. Check out our T&C’ for further details.
Do you offer a free trial?
Absolutely, you can try before you buy provided there is space in the session / course you’re interested in attending.
Can I book a court and just play?
Of course, there will always be courts allocated to casual play, book a court here.
What is the difference between a course and a drop-in session?
A course generally runs for a set number of weekly sessions (anywhere between 6 – 12 weeks) You book and pay in advance and your place is guaranteed for the length of the course. A drop-in session allows you to book ad-hoc, especially useful if your weekly schedule is changeable.
Individual Sessions
Never played before and want some 1-2-1 sessions for rapid improvement? Got something that is in real need of fine-tuning to get you to the top of your game? Individual coaching is a great way to focus on your game, agree your goals and ensure you get the technical, tactical, physical and mental skills to take your game to a whole new level.
