Steve is an LTA CCA Licensed tennis coach with 15 years coaching experience with all ages and abilities from mini tennis to national competition standard players.

Tennis Camps
All abilities are welcome and all equipment is provided.
Players are grouped depending on age/ability.
For Mini Tennis players (5-9yrs) tennis is played on three court sizes: ¼, ¾ and full size with the focus on basic skills. Shorter rackets used with slower, lower bouncing balls enable everyone to play the game and improve quickly.
For players aged 10-16yrs tennis is played on a full sized court using standard tennis balls with a focus on matchplay.

The camps will run in all weathers. However, if the courts are judged to be dangerous on a particular day a message will be shown on this site's home page and camps will be run on the Friday.
What to bring. All equipment is provided but if you have your own racket please bring it along with you. Drinks and snack food will help maintain energy levels during the camp. Sun cream and a hat will protect you from the sun and a waterproof coat wouldn't be a bad idea either!
