    • Building confidence each week
    • Competing with effort and resilience
    • Developing sportsmanship
    • Being part of a team
    • Enjoying the experience of competition tennis

    Tennis Training provides players with the skills and understanding of what tennis is.


    Matches allow players to put those skills into practice & 'Play'
