How will Tennis Xpress help me?

This 6 week coaching course will teach you the tactical and technical fundamentals of tennis so that you can confidently play tennis with friends, family, your children, or other people you meet on the course.

  • Learn to serve, rally and score!
  • Build your confidence by learning something new
  • A variety of ball types and court sizes make playing the game easier and more fun
  • Get out and socialise with friends and meet new people too.

A great way to socialise

Everyone on your Tennis Xpress course will be new to tennis so you can be sure that you’ll all have lots of fun and laughs together as you learn. Coaches guide and encourage you, adapting their teaching styles so you can learn in a way that best suits you.

You’ll gain confidence and be introduced to ‘play on’ opportunities where you can get out and have friendly hits with the people you’ve met on the course or your friends and family that already play.
