Our holiday tennis camps are a fun activity for kids in the school holidays and also provide childcare for working parents.
Passionate about sharing our love for tennis our goal is to teach the game in a fun environment. Aimed at children aged 4-15 years the days are designed to be fun for both beginners and more advanced players. Children are divided into groups depending on age and ability to encourage confidence.
Early booking is advised but you can also book on last minute if there are spaces available.
We never cancel and play whatever the weather so please bring either raincoats and warm clothes or sun hats and sun cream, depending on the forecast! We ask that children wear trainers please.
To keep up to date please follow us on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.
Our Holiday Tennis Camps are coached with plenty of fun so children learn to love the sport of tennis.
These camps will be coached sessions, where children will be learning correct technique but also learning the reading/tracking skills needed to have a rally and play tennis.

As a general rule for U10s, if they put the end of the handle in their armpit with the racket running along their arm, they should just be able to touch the end of the racket. By the time children are 11+ they will probably be using a full size 27” racket.
If you are unsure please ask your coach when you next see them and they will be able to advise.
Yes, we are able to support people completing their Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE), please get in touch with Elly directly.
