Junior development

Our Junior Program offers a dynamic and multilevel program for children trying out tennis for the first time through to occasional players who want some help and guidance with their play.Ranging in age from 4- 18 years old,and designed for boys and girls who range from recreational beginners to aspiring competitive high school players, who play once or twice per week, compete occasionally and enjoythe game.

Players get the opportunity to play for their club where great friendships are formed, as players spend so much time together.

Sessions run all year round and groups are structured into appropriate age and ability groups, with the opportunity to move up groups as they progress.

Each class includes the following 4 elements: Athletic Development, Technical Training, Rally Skills and Competitive Play.

An assessment is scheduled with our Academy coach before placing a player in their desired group.  All players in this program will be grouped according to their age and ability.  

Our goal is to provide the best learning environment to help each student maximise and realise his or her full potential through the lessons of competition, and training that personifies the athletic spirit to succeed.

We welcome keen tennis players of all ages and level to take part in our free-play, recreational programme suited to those who don’t necessarily want to learn tofocus on technique or compete but want to play tennis
