Morning,
Having seen a few messages and emails come in about the flooding in and around USK, its better & safer to say lets be sensible this week and leave it as peoples safety in driving or walking needs to be safe.
I am away next week so will see you on Sat 29th Nov.

At 7am tomorrow , I will make a call on whether the two junior squads will go ahead or not.
The storm may have caused damage to the courts and roads near the club, therefore making it unsafe to travel in.

Please stay tuned to this site and also your clubspark emails.

Go well everyone ⛈️

Hi all,
The plan is to try and run Monday’s junior sessions & our adult improvers, you can book on via the link above & in the event of it being very wet then a a full refund will be offered.

We embrace the LTA Youth tennis methods and combine this with our own vision of how we believe junior tennis group coaching should be taught at our two venues.

Tidying up the use of the non-dominant arm by turning and pointing to the ball which will help get more shoulder turn- help you balance & help with a better contact point.
Catching the racket with the non-dominant arm over your left shoulder allows the body to transfer through and gives you a more elevated finishing position. Perfectly demonstrated by this keen adult player #1-2-1
