COACHING

Tennis, unlike golf or athletics, has very few absolute measurements. There are no course records or world records. Your playing ability is measured relative to other players abilities. Players of all skill levels can benefit from coaching and playing opponents of varying ability levels.

JUNIOR COACHING
Junior coaching sessions include Group Coaching sessions, Short Tennis coaching and Junior Tennis Clinics.

ADULT COACHING
Adult Coaching usually consists of eight one-hour sessions and some are also open to non-members as an introduction to the Club. Each group is organised to consist of players of similar ability as follows:

Beginners Tennis - Level 1 - players who are just starting, or have recently started, to play tennis and are still working primarily in maintaining a rally, or they have not played since leaving school.

Improvers Tennis - Level 2 - players who have developed more consistency with rallying but who may have obvious stroke weaknesses, particularly with backhand shots.

Intermediate Tennis - Level 3 - players who can play shots with more confidence and accuracy but who lack control and direction when looking for more power.

Club Tennis - Level 4 - players who may be playing some competitive tennis, and also in regular 4's, but who may have individual areas of weakness and would benefit from a greater understanding of spins and tactics.
