Ladies Tennis Tuesdays

Our Tennis Tuesday’s session is aimed at ladies who already play tennis occasionally and want to play more regularly.  It is aimed at players of an improver standard or better.  We encourage any beginners to first attend our Tennis Xpress courses which are aimed at those players who are slightly rusty or just starting out and need to learn the fundamentals.   The key for our Tennis Tuesday’s session is that players help us to rate them and courts are allocated by playing standard, and we ask our players to go to the court that they feel is most relevant to their level with our guidance and support.

Men’s Intensive Drills Session

This is an intensive drills session that involves high energy, lots of activity, and court coverage whilst working on a diverse range of shots and sequences to enhance and develop a player’s speed agility whilst under pressure. These sessions typically last for 90 minutes, including an initial 10 mins warming up, then 50 mins of intense practice drills and then 30 mins of practical application, in relevant match play situations, which could be singles or doubles-based activities.

Ladies drills session

Our ladies drill session are relevant for intermediate and advanced players who wish to partake in a dynamic activity working on a range of various shot sequences, whilst under a degree of intensity, to enhance fitness and speed around the court.

Ladies’ Beginners’ Group

This is a ladies beginners coaching session for those new to the game that have not played before, or maybe those that tried tennis at school but not been on court since, but are keen to try and develop their skills. 

These sessions go back to the very basics and work you through slowly the technique required for the basic six shots, forehand & backhand groundstrokes, volleys, serves and smashes, all delivered in a methodical manner to enable you to acquire the skills to develop a basic game, which you can then apply on the doubles court with your newly acquired friends and acquaintances. 

Video analysis lesson

These video analysis lessons are based around utilising the latest video technology via our phone or iPad tablet to record certain shots that you feel you are less confident with which we can then analyse visually and explain the relevant corrections that need to take place to develop and enhance your skills.

We will utilise the very latest video analysis software, using “coaches eye” which enables the recording of the video and this can then be captured and forwarded to the player for later scrutiny and re-evaluation from their own PC or phone.  Video analysis is a highly useful analysis approach, which can often achieve rapid results, as is often said a picture speaks a 1000 words, and when this is verified by an experienced and highly accredited professional coach vast improvements can be made in very short time frames.

8-week Doubles play, tactics and positioning course

In 2021 we launch our brand new eight-week doubles training programme for adults of an intermediate to advanced ability.  The course will culminate in eight specific themes which will be delivered over the course of sessions.  

• Week one is based around “working effectively as a team”
• Week two is “Intercepting at the net”
• Week three is “Taking advantage of your partners serve"
• Week four is “Using the serve and volley approach”
• Week five we focus on “Building off the return of serve”
• Week six is “Working together effectively at the net
• Week 7 is “Neutralising when the opposition are both at the net”
• Week 8 is based around “Using the I formation when serving”

This course is highly effective for those that want to enhance and develop their approach to doubles play in the club environment and for those that are currently playing more competitive League based tennis and want to be able to deliver more effective results with their partner. Please note you do not have to attend these sessions with your doubles partner but obviously for the maximum benefit if you are playing with somebody on a regular basis then it would be really useful for them to also understand the approach you are adopting so that you can work even more effectively as a team. for those that are playing together we offer a dual player discount for an active playing pair, please speak to us about the arrangement of this if you would both like to attend.
