These sessions are focused on match preparation, tactics, consistency and building confidence ahead of interclub competition. More information about Junior Interclub will be coming next month. 
 

Club Coaching

Club Coaching is a larger-format group session designed to help junior players develop their skills while having fun and playing with other junior members.

For younger players, sessions focus on exercises, drills, ball skills and fun games. Older players will also work on mini-games, rules, scoring and match play.

Sessions generally include:

• Warm-up exercises
• Drills to develop strokes and ball skills
• Fun games and activities
• Match play and scoring (where appropriate)
• Warm-down
• A summary of skills learned

After School Private Lessons

After School Lessons are personalised small-group sessions of 4–6 players, organised according to ability and focused on developing technique, ball control, movement and strategy.
