Junior Sessions
Youth Programme
This introduction to tennis focuses on building strong foundations. Through fun, active games, kids will develop balance, agility, and hand-eye coordination while exploring the basics of the sport. It’snot about winning – it’s about learning new skills and having a blast.
Get ready to see rallies, volleys, and overarm serves. At this stage, kids will continue to improve speed, coordination, and reaction time. Relaxed, friendly competition is introduced to help develop confidence and teamwork.
This is where strategy comes in. Kids will explore tactics, problem-solving, and sportsmanship. They’ll sharpen their match play skills while developing leadership qualities that benefit them on and off the court.
Stepping up to a full-size court – kids will refine their skills and techniques while learning to handle more competitive situations. These sessions help them grow their game and master the mental side of sports.
With full-size balls on regulation courts, just like the pros. Here, kids continue exploring different styles of play. They’ll focus on developing a game that’s uniquely theirs while building confidence and resilience.

Monthly payment system
We have designed a hassle-free monthly payment system to make things easier for you. Once you have secured your spot for your child, you will be enrolled in our ‘monthly payments’ scheme. This means your payments will be made monthly throughout the term (e.g. January, February & March for the Spring term). You will also only pay for the remaining sessions in the term. This way, your child can join the programme at any time without missing out on valuable tennis time!
Why monthly payments?
Our goal is to simplify the payment process for our sessions. Once you have registered, there’s no need for any further action. We recognize that families are affected by the increasing cost of living, and therefore, we provide the option to pay a smaller monthly fee.

Cancellation policy
Our aim is to hold the tennis sessions in most weather conditions. It’s important to ensure that children are appropriately dressed for the weather. Group coaching sessions will only be cancelled in cases of severe weather conditions. In the absence of the coach, a substitute coach will be provided.
In the event of a group coaching session being cancelled, you’ll receive a credit for the next term, or you can make up for the missed session in the current term. However, bookings are non-refundable, except in exceptional circumstances.
Please note that if a player misses a session without prior notice, no credit will be provided.
