JUNIOR TENNIS

Give your kids a head start and solid foundation for their tennis career by sending them to one of our structured coaching courses. Courses are taken by qualified tennis coaches using the latest teaching methods and equipment to assist your kids to have fun while improving their tennis skills.

Junior members are the future of our club and currently 60% of our members are under 18yrs.

Tennis is a fantastic sport for the U10s and within the last 10 years there has been a revolutionary change in the coaching methods and equipment for juniors.

Our club has adopted the 'Play&Stay' approach to coaching that is recommended by Tennis Ireland and the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

We use mini-nets, slower balls and smaller rackets so that even 5 & 6 yr olds can learn the basic strokes and play matches against each other.

Club Junior tournaments

We arrange occasional round-robin tournaments for club juniors which introduces them to competitive tennis, and where their parents can spectate and see how their children are progressing.

These in-house tournaments are often held at the end of each month.

Junior coaching

It is important that young players receive proper coaching if they are to achieve their full tennis potential.

Junior Coaching classes are currently organised in 8 week courses at a cost of £40 for 8 x 1hr sessions (or £48 for non-members) There are separate classes for U-10s and 10+ age groups.

Players will be allocated to the appropriate group by the Coach and will graduate to a higher group as they progress with their tennis skills.
