Q – Do you provide rackets to use on the groups?
A – Yes we have spare rackets that the children can use during each session, although many of our Junior do go on to buy their own racket, allowing them to practice in between lessons.
Q – What do I need to wear for a lesson?
A – As long as the player wears sportswear, is comfortable and wears non marking trainers they are good to go!
Q – Do you have to be a member to join the Junior Coaching groups?
A – No, you can do the groups as a Member or Non – Member. Membership however provides discounts on all the groups (£1 per session saved) and camps (£2 per day saved), and provides access to the courts (via our booking app and subject to terms and conditions). To check out the fantastic membership deals currently available go to https://priorytennis.co.uk/join/
Q – Are the any other benefits to joining as a Junior?
A – For those Juniors in Secondary school, or those Primary children who can rally well and play mini matches, we run a FREE Sunday Junior Social session (2.30 – 4pm every Sunday) where the coach puts the children into lots of matches, providing them with lots of competition and fun.
Q – Can I do a taster session if I’m not sure about joining for a course initially?
A – Yes, you can sign up for a Taster session by contacting Head Coach Jonathan Seville directly at jonathansevillecoaching@gmail.com or calling 07581359809.
Q – What age does the Junior programme start from?
A – Our youngest children are in Reception year at school, and we cater all the way up to those in Year 13 (upper 6th).
Q – Do the sessions run all year round and are the sessions weather dependent?
A – Our Groups run all year round, during School Term times. We still run sessions as long as the rain isn’t heavy, or the courts are unplayable, but if we need to cancel a session we text all parents beforehand, and credits are given for future courses to recompense.
Q – How can I help my child get better at tennis?
A – For Primary age children, if they join (from as cheap as £13 per year) a parent can also join (£25 per year) and together they can book out and use the club’s Mini court to practice on during the week. Outside of that, doing basic throw / catch / racket skills / small rally skills in space are fantastic ways to build skills. Speak to one of our coaches for guidance. The more they do at a young age, the better they will be!
