We also offer the new LTA YOUTH START introduction ‘tennis for kids’ course, aged 5-7 & 8-11 who are completely new to tennis.  For £29.99 + £5 P&P,  you get six tennis sessions delivered by Rob Hodge, our specially trained coach, a tennis racket, set of balls, branded t-shirt and more.  This is an excellent introduction into tennis and a natural progression to then move onto Ben’s Tennis Academy. 

Popular Easter & Summer day camps are also held at the club, 11am-4pm every day during the school holidays. Make sure you book your place early with Ben!
