Your child’s personal development is the heart of our programme
A unique programme for all ages and abilities
So much more than a coaching curriculum. Our child centred programme contains all of the elements that make tennis engaging and fun for kids.
From a motivational rewards programme to exciting competitions and socials. The sessions in our programme are split by age and level of ability and start from 3 years old. Your child will always be able to find the right session for them.

Parent
My daughter has recently begun lessons with Mike. Despite her being super nervous and anxious about joining, Mike put her at ease and was really lovely with her. She had a fab time and looks forward to going each week. It’s done wonders for her confidence and she always comes out of the lesson absolutely buzzing! definitely recommend
We care about your child’s personal development
Our programme starts with the character and behaviours that kids need to succeed in sport and more importantly in life!
We emphasise and reward key behaviours that will put your child on the road to success. Some of our core values are the following; respect, training hard, team work and competing fairly.
As a parent, you will receive regular updates regarding your child’s progress.
Quality coaching
In 2019, our coaching team were awarded runners up for Tennis Wales Coach Of The Year for inspiring hundreds of children to pick up a racket.
The team is overseen by Mike Herd, who is an LTA Level 4 Tennis Coach, RPT European Professional and qualified Primary School Teacher.
All of our tennis coaches have been carefully selected to ensure that your child has the best tennis experience possible. They are background checked, hold first aid and safe guarding qualifications and are required to take part in a rigorous and continuous training program.
Learn lots of new skills
Your child will not only get a lot of our programme in terms of personal and social development, but we will really enhance their physical development which will help them no end with other sports.
We use a world renowned unique programme called SuperMovers that develops Strength, Movement, Agility, Stability and Honing co-ordination in a fun way.
SuperMovers covers all the qualities for your child to become a great all round athlete.
