Programmes:

A thriving coaching programme is run by Head Coach Kim Freebairn.

Group and Individual lessons are available for all members. These can be arranged with Kim on a week-by-week or permanent basis. Please enquire for available days and times.

For juniors Kim offers a hierarchy of programmes from lessons for the very youngest beginner to the elite junior. There are group lessons for 4 to 8 children, ‘Talent Squads' for those who are taking their tennis a little more seriously and semi and private lessons of ½ and 1 hour duration. Please ask Kim for prices and times.

In the Merton summer holidays we run tennis camps, which will incorporate tennis lessons, games, competitions and general sports into the week long programme.

You will find the programmes here to be very flexible and we go to great lengths to try and find you an ideal day, time and standard for your child.

Regular match days are run against nearby clubs and information on playing tournaments is readily available to anyone who is interested.
