Autumn Adult Tennis Stroke Workshops

We are always searching for new ways to develop playing and learning opportunities. As we are beginning to run out of light in the evenings it can get harder for us to continue to progress your games. However our head coach Luis has come up with an innovative idea for many of you to work on specific areas of your games. Our Autumn Workshop series gives you the chance to sign up to a two hour Sunday morning session with the first hour focusing on stroke technique using controlled drills and the second hour on shot execution under game/matchplay conditions. These workshops will not be listed on the website directly but should be booked in advance through the following links:
