Coaching by One Community Tennis

Coaching this season will be delivered by One Community Tennis Coaching. Our qualified coaches run fun sessions while teaching the core skills of tennis. It's a great way to teach kids the game and advance their capabilities. 

Junior Club Afternoon

Our Junior tennis programme runs through Term 4 and Term 1 - 2026.  It pauses over the summer holidays.
