Our Beginner Coaching Course is all about meeting other players and having fun while getting to grips with the basics. It’s a great way to enter the program, understand the basics and get ready to take your next step at the club.
Aimed at adults who have limited/no experience or are just reintroducing themselves to the game after a long break. In each weekly session we’ll help you gently build your skills to get you playing like a pro in no time. Our course will have you ready to serve, rally and score – setting you up with the skills to start playing tennis on a regular basis, whether that’s down the park with your friends or heading out to your first competition.
Improver Coaching is for players who have some experience in tennis and could play a social game. Join this class if you can hold a rally or play a game of social tennis, but are a bit out of practice. Players have completed the 8 week beginner course, or have previous experience playing tennis. Players have perception skills and can make good contact, but may lack correct technique. Players joining this level should have an understanding of position, scoring and rules.
Improver PLUS coaching is suitable for players who have played regularly, have good knowledge of the game and can rally consistently. Players have consistency on their groundstrokes. They can generate spin, can generate pace and change direction with ease. Players at this level would typically be looking to develop their all round game, including serving and net play.
Intermediate coaching is for experienced players. You’re most likely at a level where you could join a club level comp and hold your own.
An intermediate player has consistent groundstrokes, with the ability to generate pace and spin on both sides. Players can generate topspin and slice, have strong net play and can serve consistently.
This class will concentrate on tactics of the game whilst getting you playing, but also incorporate some technical advice (players looking to detailed technical coaching should consider taking a private lesson to compliment this class)
Intermediate PLUS players are Higher level comp players.
Players can consistently serve using a Continental grip to create slice & Topspin.
Adult Courses
We offer a fixed coaching course enrollment for beginner and level 1 (improver) players.
The length of the course will vary depending on public holidays (majority of courses will run for 8-10 weeks)
This course runs at the same time weekly for the duration of the course, with the same players and coach.
Courses are structured for entry level players:
Beginner course: Learn how to serve, rally and play. The aim by the end of the course is to be able to play a game of social tennis.
Improver course: Build towards the skills required to move to Level 2 (Improver PLUS). Develop techniques focusing on groundstroke grips, swing lines, an introduction to net play, adding pace and spin whilst learning techniques to read and receive the ball.
