Current Timetable
The below timetable covers sessions from the 1st of June 2026 up to and including the 19th of July 2026. Coaching stops over the summer holidays, but there is plenty of tennis on offer for juniors if they wish to come to one of my tennis camps. Weekly coaching will resume again in September 2026 and with the exception that the Saturday morning coaching will take place at Scalby Tennis Club, the sessions on offer will be almost identical to what is shown below.
All new customers are welcome to come and try their sessions for free. Thereafter, most sessions are paid for on a half termly basis. The exact prices for a session can be found by clicking on one of the booking buttons above. These prices can often be reduced by becoming a member of the tennis club where the sessions are held. Links to the club websites are also provided under the club membership section below.
Below is a rough overview of the the pricing structures.
JUNIOR PRICING
All Junior coaching is paid for on a half termly commitment, but if you sign up half way through a term, you only pay for the sessions left in that run. Prices vary between £4-£8 a session depending on group size, number of coaches present and whether your child is a member at the club and the extra cost of floodlighting or court hire.
ADULT PRICING
Adult prices depend a number of factors including; whether you are a member at the club the session is taking place at, cost of court hire or floodlights, number in the group, whether it is a peak time session and whether or not you are choosing to pay as you go or sign up termly. Sessions therefore can work out between £8 to £14 session.

Which tennis session is right for me or my child?
Below is a brief description of the different sessions. The ball colour refers to the type of ball that is used for each stage. Each different ball is designed to bounce at a height that keeps the average contact point of the strike proportional to that of how a normal tennis ball bounces for an adult. This differentiation allows a child to develop a technique from an early age that they will still be using when they are an adult as the court size and bounce height grows with them.
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. .
Red Ball Tennis- this is aimed predominately 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.
Orange Ball Tennis- this is aimed predominantly at children from 8-11 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.
Green Ball Tennis- this is aimed at children from 10+ years of age and is about putting their game on to the full court, notably being able to serve from the baseline of an adult sized tennis court and covering a larger distance whilst still maintaining control of the ball.
Yellow Ball Tennis- this is aimed at children generally 13+ who are now tall enough that their comfortable strike point of a ball is similar to an adult. For experienced yellow ball players, sessions will likely involve ever more challenging technical, technical and physical challenges. If your child teenager is coming to tennis for the first time as a beginner, it is worth messaging or emailing me (see bottom of the page) to check which group will be best for them.
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.
