Indoor Sessions for Mini Tennis Red & Orange Groups
*The Saturday 9am and 9.55am groups will take place in the University sports centre (SportsPark) for sessions from
the 7th of January to the 18th of February and outdoors on the hard tennis courts from the 25th of February to the end of
term.
*The Sunday 9am group will take place indoors in the University sports centre (SportsPark) for the full term. There
will be no coaching on Sunday the 15th of January as the courts are not available on this date.
Joining Groups
If any group is oversubscribed, places in the group will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Players can join
a group part way through the term and pay on a pro rata basis if there is space in the group.
Bad Weather
Some lessons could be lost to bad weather and this is already reflected in the price of the courses. A maximum of one
extra session will be added to the end of the courses to make up for any sessions lost to the weather.
Private Lessons
If you are interested in private individual or group lessons please contact the coach directly.
Equipment
Players are advised to bring a drink and a sun hat to day time sessions. A racket can be provided for any players
without their own (if aged 11 and over please let the coach know in advance to ensure that enough are available).
