Coaching - Beginners

Beginners and new members

As a new member of the Club, a senior member will be assigned to introduce you to the Club and how it works (all members have a duty to help new members). If you wish, you can also be assigned a mentor who will oversee your integration and tennis development over the first 6 months.  The coaching sessions on Thursday evenings are the best way to learn the game and improve. When coaching is not on, Thursday evening becomes a club session for less experienced members.  The next step is playing at the weekly club sessions on Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. These sessions also serve a social function with refreshments available. In addition of course, you can also arrange your play with other members outside of the sessions.

Most of the information you require as a new member is available here on the Website, for example in the Members’ Guide.

Club members generally fall into one of these categories – beginner, developing player, experienced player, social player, non-playing member. The experienced players normally represent the club in matches.

Be involved

It is the intention that everyone should enjoy being a member of the Club irrespective of their level of tennis ability. To this end, there are many ways in which members can get involved, by taking responsibility for an aspect of the running of the Club.  For example one can help with social functions, court maintenance, ball procurement etc. Members are encouraged to share their views and indicate how they might like to be involved.
