ADULT TENNIS PROGRAMME
We aim to provide the best experience to all our adults that want to play tennis, so to help you see where you fit in, we have a self evaluation to aid you in our course selection.
New Player
Has no or limited tennis experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.
Beginner-Improver Player
Fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Needs work on depth and variety.
Intermediate-Advanced Player
Has dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides plus the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success. May be starting to master the use of power and spins (though tends to over-hit difficult shots). Rallies may be lost due to impatience.
We aim to be able to offer tennis coaching to all abilities, so please contact us for further help finding a session that works for you.
LTA YOUTH PROGRAMME
We aim to make sure every child has the best start to their tennis journey in a safe and inclusive environment. Sessions cater to all abilities, so no one gets left behind. Explore the different Youth stages below.
Key points:
- Although we’ve assigned ages to each stage, this is just a guide
- We understand kids want to play in groups and with their friends, so whatever stage they start at, all kids will see progression
- In every LTA Youth stage, kids will be active, having fun and developing skills!
Tennis lessons for ages 5-8
This will look a bit more like the tennis you know. You’ll see overarm serves, rallies and volleys. Coaches will help children to further develop their co-ordination, balance and speed. We’ll introduce relaxed competition here too.
Tennis lessons for ages 8-9
Time to throw in some tactics, problem-solving, and guides to sportsmanship and leadership. At this stage children will know all of the rules and will be serving and returning in matches.
Tennis lessons for ages 4-6
This is an introduction to tennis. Here, we’ll help kids improve their balance, agility and co-ordination while teaching them about the sport we love. At this stage it’s not about winning or losing, it’s just getting to grips with the basics.
Tennis lessons for ages 9-10
This is the big one. It’s time for kids to play on full size courts. Now it’s all about growing their game by fine tuning and refining the techniques they’ve learned so far.
Tennis lessons for ages 10+
Time to find your game. Playing on a full size court with the same size balls the pros use, kids will continue to explore different styles on the court, and start to choose their own.
