Building for the Future
Since taking over tennis provision at Fleming Park in April 2006, we have managed to grow the programme significantly.
We now offer Mini Tennis Red, Orange and Green groups for children from 5 years upwards as well as Improver groups for teenagers.
Our Mini Tennis Red programme is based in the Main Hall at Fleming Park where we occupy 5 badminton courts after school during the week. We offer recreational sessions as well as basing the majority of our Academy groups in the Main Hall during the early stages of their development. |

Mini Tennis Orange and Green as well as Improvers groups are all based on the 4 outdoor tennis courts or in the indoor courts. All courts are floodlit and we play all-year-round.
It is our opinion that tennis is an outdoor sport and that children should be encouraged to play outside at the earliest possible stage.

How it Works
Groups are available on a course basis whereby participants sign up in and pay in advance. The courses reflect the given school half term and usually run for either 6 or 7 weeks. Sessions cost £5 per week courses run for the equivalent half-term (between 5 and 7 weeks). For further information, please contact us.
Progressive Learning
Our coaching methods are based on many years of experience, not just within tennis, but also within academic teaching. We focus our lessons on continual technical improvement and use structured lesson plans to progress drills within each session to really maximise children's learning potential during the sessions.
The lessons are great fun for the participants as they continue to improve and learn to play competitively.
As children improve, we are able to move them on to the next level and provide a progressive group structure that allows them to do so.
Talent Identification and Tennis Academy
For those children showing an exciting talent for tennis, there is also a performance and competition route available to help them develop. Please read about our Tennis Academy for further information.
