New Courts & Facilities

This makes a crucial contribution to tennis’ drive to increase the opportunities for people to participate, compete and get access to coaching at all levels of the game in communities nationwide.

The above sessions have a limit of 12 people for 1 coach and 16 people for a coach and assistant. The idea is it is a more detailed session to provide more quality feedback and more attention to each individual player. With demand, more sessions will be put into place.
Junior programme will grow as the numbers come rise. Focus will be on small fee sessions after school with the children being put into groups based on their standard.
Throughout all sessions a minimum of 2 courts will remain accessible to the public for free access and play.
