This page is especially for you if your child or children are enrolled in our programme of group lessons and you pay a monthly direct debit. Over a year, you receive some hours of tennis camps in the school holidays and half terms as part of your programme. This page is for you to book your hours of tennis camps. It will be open for bookings earlier than for everyone else, and it is a simplified booking form which doesn’t require payment.

FAQs
For 3 to 4 year olds, it’s just the one hour, which consists of all kinds of ball skills, movement skills and basic tennis, using balloons, bean bags, juggle scarves, beach balls – anything to keep it fun and help them to start learning the game.
For everyone else, we get them into groups at 9.30am according to their age, although we may move children into different groups as necessary as we get to know them.
The sessions then consist of warm ups, agility, balance and co-ordination skills, coaching of all the shots, drills, fun games, competition & matchplay (where appropriate).
Children who stay for the whole day have lunch from 12.30-1.30. In the afternoon, we may sometimes do other sports / activities, depending on the ages, abilities and preferences of the children.
The “extended day” will be supervised activities in the clubhouse from 8.30-9.30am and 3.30-4.30pm.
- If you have your own racket, bring it. If not, we can supply one.

We go ahead in all weather as we have a programme of activities inside. This may consist of mini tennis in the squash courts, table tennis, indoor games, arts and crafts. We’ll stay outside as much as possible, but in really bad weather, we’ll go inside and get back out as soon as possible. Either way, you know the camp is always going ahead.
