COVID-19 & Tennis Coaching Update
We are excited that most tennis club activities can now resume. However, we now have measures in place to help mitigate the spread in line with current advice.
- All group coaching bookings will now be taken using the Method Tennis app to allow for cashless payments, and easier tracking of who is in sessions.
- Until at least 14th September our no cancellation policy will be suspended. Sessions may be cancelled in the case of bad weather with refunds being issued via the app.
- Hand sanitiser should be used when entering and exiting the courts and the club one-way system and protocols should be followed – please see most recent club update for details.
- No rackets will be provided. Players must bring their own. Please contact the coaching team if you require any advice regarding racket purchases.
- Please continue to follow all government guidelines and club protocols while using the club.

Junior Coaching Update
We are now able to run a full junior group programme schedule. The next block will total 17 weeks running from w/c 17th August (October week break w/c 12th October) and ending 20th December. Free sessions will not run on school holidays. Sessions are still booked in blocks. Under 12 & under 10 fitness and fundamental movement skills sessions are unfortunately cancelled while we don’t have access to an indoor space for the delivery of sessions.
New Look Sessions
Sessions are now divided into three types to help parents and players understand the programme at a glance.
Learn
For players new to the game, playing once a week, or not ready to play a match. These sessions have a large focus on coordination skills, perception skills and basic technical development. Players new to the game and Whitecraigs tennis club are encouraged to attend at least one Learn session per week, in addition to the appropriate free tennis session.
Play
For more experienced players playing two or three times per week. Players in these sessions are encouraged to play locally in tournaments, in league matches for the club and other internal competitions. The sessions focus on the development of tactical and competitive skills. All ‘Play’ sessions are by invite. If you are wondering if these sessions are for you or would like to discuss your, or your child’s tennis programme then please contact: tennis@whitecraigstennis.com
Compete
Compete sessions provide a comprehensive and individualised programme for players wanting to compete regularly to a county standard or higher. Players in these sessions should play a rough average of 1 hour of tennis per week for every year of age. These sessions are again by invite.
Please contact us using tennis@whitecraigstennis.com if you would like to discuss your son or daughters tennis.

Cost of Sessions
Junior member group coaching pricing remains unchanged:
Learn sessions £6p/h
Play/Compete sessions £5p/h (discounted due to higher total number of hours)
All sessions payments are made in blocks. £2p/h supplement for non-members.
Individual lessons and paid hitting sessions are also available to junior players.
Due to a high demand Zoe and Dan are now only able to take individual lessons for junior players practicing a minimum of 3 hours per week.
Our fully qualified team is still available to provide individual tuition and support to players playing less than this or with less experience.
