Summer Coaching Guide 2010

Welcome everyone to the start of the grass court coaching season 2010. The coaching programme will continue for 8 weeks, starting on the week of May 10th. There will be plenty of opportunities to put coaching into practice. Summer Camps for the juniors will start on the 26th of July for 3 weeks. There will be several fun tournaments and match-play days for all ages and standards throughout the season. Club sessions for adults run on Mondays, Thursdays and Sunday mornings. Junior club night will start on the 7th of May until September and will run every Friday between 4 – 6 p.m.

There is a separate timetable outlining all the coaching courses offered during the summer. Below is a guide to help you choose a coaching course that is most suited to your level of play.
