ANNUAL TENNIS FESTIVALS
We run various fun tennis festivals throughout the year for children in the coaching programme to be able to excel and enjoy the game.
We place all of the children into one of our 4 houses (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open). Children are given house points if they instil great tennis behaviours such as being resilient, respectful, working well in a team, being independent, listening well and many more.
Every year we all come together and have some fun on the tennis court as well as celebrating the achievements of the children and present the house cup to the house with the most house points accumulated over the course of the year.

We start our Avenue Tots from 3 years upwards. These sessions are designed to help these young players develop the fundamentals needed to enjoy the game and develop their agility, balance and coordination.
The coaching team monitor a player’s development through the term. We use different criteria to decide when we feel a player is ready to move up, including their ability to serve, rally and score in the age group.

To book into a coaching session you can book a free assessment with one of our coaches, or try a trial session with one of our current groups. For those wanting to join the Academy groups you will need an assessment with one of our coaches.
