Mixed Team Training

There will also be Team Training for both men and ladies (A team) players and those wanting to play competitive tennis both internally at the club. Sessions will be primarily focused on strategy and matchplay. We will be looking at a variety of doubles areas to help players be more confident and competitive on the match court all derived from the British Doubles System that has seen significant success on the world tour for the past 10 years. Sessions will be led by Stuart Twigg and Tom Oakes from 7.30 - 9pm.

The sessions will operate bi weekly meaning week one is ladies team training and week two is mixed team training etc. Sessions are £12 per session and paid for as a block of 5 sessions = £60.

The session dates for the mixed session are:

May 11th, June 1st, 15th, 29th & 13th July

Extra sessions in each block will be charged at £15.00 but can only be accessed if there is a space.

No sessions on 4th & 25th May as these are Bank Holidays.
