Current Timetable
The below timetable covers sessions from the 8th April 2024 up to and including the 25th of May 2024. Sessions run with school terms and this timetable will very likely represent the coaching sessions available until the junior sessions will move back indoor in November.
JUNIOR PRICING
Junior prices are aimed at providing best value for children who commit to termly blocks and are members of the club at which they are having their coaching. Parents with children in this position can expect to pay:
£3 a session for a group of 14-16 children
£4 a session for a group size 10-14 children
£5 a session for a group of 9 or less children
Children who are not members of the club they are playing at will be charged an extra £2 non members fee per session.
Sessions also may increase in price if they are at a venue that incurs a court booking fee (Village Halls and Pindar Leisure Centre)
Sessions are available on a pay as you go basis if there is space in the group but cost an extra £3 per session for those choosing this option. This charge is exempt for children who are coming to tennis for the first time and can come on a pay as you go basis for the first session without this £3 added charge.
ADULT PRICING
Adult sessions cost £7 for pay as you go members.
A £2 non member fee is added to any adult being coached at a club they are not a member of.

Which tennis session is right for me or my child?
If you are interested in your child taking up tennis lessons and they are over 8 and have very limited sporting experience, they may find joining the age group below a more satisfying experience. If you are unsure contact me before you book your lesson and I will help guide you to the best session for your child.
Sponge Ball- this is aimed at children from 4-6 years old and focuses on providing children with the movement, coordination and hand skills required to be able to control a ball when they progress onto red ball tennis. Large sponge balls are predominately used to keep the ball bounce slow and low for the younger learners.
Red Ball Tennis- this is aimed at children from 6-8 and covers the beginning steps of controlling a tennis ball individually through to match play on the small red ball court. The red ball used is designed to bounce lower and slower to help beginners and also to be appropriate to the average size of a 5-7 year old.
Orange Ball Tennis- this is aimed at children from 8-10 and is played on a larger court than red ball, but smaller than full size. Lesson are aimed at developing children’s variety of shot as well as developing more in-depth tactics. The orange ball is slightly faster and higher bouncing than a red ball and is aimed to bounce at an appropriate height for children aged 7-9 years old.
Green Ball Tennis- this is aimed at children from 10+ years of age and is about putting their game on to the full court, using a green ball that bounces at an appropriate height for children in this age range.
Yellow Ball Tennis- this is aimed at children who are now big enough to play full court tennis with a standard yellow ball. Lessons will be delivered with an increasing emphasis on tactics and developing the mental strategies required to be a successful tennis player.
Adult Beginner Coaching-these sessions are aimed at adults with low confidence and want a friendly, fun, welcoming sessions aimed at helping you develop your timing, learn a basic overarm serve and get to grips with the rules of the game
Adult Improver/Team Coaching- these sessions are aimed at adults who are already playing tennis competitively and want to come to a coaching session to improve their game and help them be more effective on court. They would also be appropriate for players new to the sport but come with a high level of confidence.
It is worth noting that as an experienced and well qualified tennis coach and teacher, I take the needs of the entire group into consideration when deciding on content and will pitch the expectation of tennis lessons, depending on what the individuals in each group need to help them enjoy and improve their tennis to the full.
Cardio Tennis- A workout on the tennis courts. Music on. Hit loads of balls and get moving.
