We are lucky enough two have two coaches working with us, Sarah Caffrey and Jon Triggs. We run coaching sessions all year round, for all ages and abilities. At the moment we're running 10 weekly sessions in term time, but if demand increases in the Summer we'll try to add more. Chulmleigh Tennis Club is LTA mini tennis accredited and starting with the youngest children, playing with bigger, softer balls, we follow the mini tennis red, orange, green system. Our older juniors play with adult balls on the full court and we run a junior matchplay session open to all children coached by the club. Some of our junior members benefit from an extra squad session with both Jon & Sarah working together. Juniors who play at league standard are coached by Jon. For adults Sarah runs a beginner/improver session and Jon an advanced improver session. Sarah coaches on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays after school in term-time and we welcome children from a huge catchment area. You don't have to be a member to receive community coaching although there are discounts if you join! Sarah also runs multi skills sessions with very young children, working within the schools. In the holidays we offer fun tournaments and other events, last August we ran a highly popular summer camp, coaching 75 children. Some of our youngsters have already worked their way up the colours and we recognise the importance of keeping friends together. Juniors are welcome to try a free taster session before they commit to a whole term's lessons. |
