Start your tennis journey.

Adult Beginners is designed for players aged 16+ who are new to tennis or have very little previous experience.

Sessions introduce the fundamental technical and tactical skills of the game, including serving, rallying, returning and movement. Players will learn through a mixture of coaching, drills and structured practices, while gradually building the confidence to play points.

The aim is to give you the skills and confidence to start playing tennis independently and progress into our Adult Improvers sessions.

Pay & Play

Important Notices:

Bookings

We do not accept cash payments and therefore you must book and pay in advance online. All pay & play sessions will be filled on a first come, first served basis. We will not accept anyone who has not pre-booked, therefore you must book and pay through the book button at the side of the session. Sorry for any inconvenience caused but this system is to allow us to control the number of players attending the session and ensure coaches can deliver a quality coaching session.

Refunds and Cancellations

All sessions will be running unless you hear from the coach prior to the start time. The coach will contact you on the contact number you provided in the booking process to inform you of a cancelled session.

If you can no longer make the Pay & Play session and you wish to ask for a refund you must contact Matt at least 24 hours before the session is due to start so your booking can be refunded and your space can be filled by another player. If less than 24 hours’ notice is given no refund will be issued.

Please note we do not carry credit across, so refunds will be issued and will take 5-10 days to be received. If a session is cancelled before the start, or if less than 1/3 of the session has been completed, then a full refund will be issued.  If more than 1/3 of the session is completed, no refund will be given.
