Technique
before everything.
Most people who try tennis spend months feeling like they are almost playing. These sessions are built around one thing: leaving the court feeling like you actually are.
See all courses in the shopMost beginners spend their first sessions just trying to make contact. By the end of this course, you will hold a rally — and know exactly why you can. Four weeks, a small group, one hour per week.
Saturday drop-inA coached hour that moves between drills and match play. You get on court, you compete, you improve — and you are done before the rest of the weekend begins. No commitment beyond the session you book.
One hour on a single shot. You will leave with a correction you have already felt work — not a tip to think about later. Four players maximum, which means you actually get coached.
Children's course Week 21–25Afternoons on court from 19 May to 22 June. All levels welcome in the same group — beginners and those who have played a little before progress together. Parents are welcome to watch from the sideline.
You leave having
already felt it work.
Most players walk off court after a lesson with feedback they are supposed to think about. These sessions are structured so the correction happens during the hour — not after it.
When something is wrong, the drill stops immediately. The coach demonstrates the correct movement on the spot. The player runs it again straight away, while the feeling is still fresh. The loop is short by design: the moment a change clicks, you feel it — and that feeling is what you take home.
That is the difference between understanding something in theory and actually being able to do it.

Reading the material →The idea this page is built on — knowledge, mechanics and skill — seen across tennis, woodwork, systems and dough. The thinking behind how we coach.
- Split step and first step timing
- Early unit turn and better spacing
- Contact point in front with a stable base
- Shape, net clearance and directional control
- More repeatable toss and rhythm
- Safer second serve without surrendering initiative
- Return position and shorter preparation
- Reading serve patterns and reacting with intent
| Level | Consistency | Serve & Return | Tactical maturity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5 | Can sustain medium rallies and direct the ball with moderate pace, but breaks down under pressure. | First serve is developing, second serve can sit up, and returns are often safe rather than assertive. | Starting to recognise patterns, but usually plays one speed and one shape. |
| 4.0 | More reliable from both wings and better balance between offence and control. | Serve has clearer shape and placement. Return is more active and starts the point with purpose. | Uses depth, angles and court position more intentionally. Can identify weaker patterns in the opponent. |
| 4.5 | Stable under pace, comfortable changing direction, absorbs and redirects pressure. | Serve is a weapon more often than a formality. Return can neutralise or attack with intent. | Builds points with a plan, varies tempo and understands when to defend, hold or attack. |
