The classes cover basic tennis technique and is aimed at those who have never played before or those who have not picked up a racket for a long time! The emphasis is on fun and there is no pressure to perform to any set standard. Stronger players can progress into more advanced sessions where they can mix in with players of a similar ability. You can dip in and out of the sessions if you are unable to attend some weeks.
There is a general theme for each week, although the exact structure will depend upon people’s levels. As a guide areas that are covered include:
- Forehands and backhands
- Serving
- Volleys and smashes
- Linking shots and aiming
