Junior and Senior Coaching at the Bishopdale TC

Juniors

Juniors start off participating in Kiwi and Hotshots coaching until they can serve full court and hold a very brief rally of 1-2 shots. At this point they usually get selected to participate in a team where they play singles and doubles in a team of 4-5 players in the Tennis Canterbury Junior interclub competition.

Juniors Summer terms

Junior Interclub team coaching days and times- Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday .

Times are- 4-5pm, 5-6pm  and 6-7pm except for Tuesdays where coaching is finished by 6pm to allow space for Senior tennis at 6pm.

The Club runs a comprehensive coaching program

1. Kiwi coaching- This is 4-7 year olds and is on a small court with lower bouncing balls.

2. Primary Hotshots- This is for 8-11 year olds and also uses low compression balls so they doný bounce as high.

3. Interclub players- This is where you can serve so go into a team to compete against other Clubs in Christchurch.

Senior coaching

We run coaching for adult members and non-members.

Interclub playing adults have training funded by the Club each Wednesday in the Summer terms 7-8pm.

Xpress lessons (all year round) are for members and non-members. Its purpose is to get adults to a level where they are comfortable to join in the Club social tennis but many love the sessions so stay on even as intermediate to advanced players.  These Xpress sessions  are  popular and heaps of fun while learning the basics of tennis. These lessons work out to be around $18-$20 per hour (depending on membership status)for a group session but invoiced by the term. We open the bar up for a drink after also for those who are keen.

These social sessions could include social doubles on a Saturday afternoon 1.30-4 pm and Tuesday evenings  6-7.30 pm.
