What happens on Junior Club Days?
On Fridays and Saturdays the children will be put onto groups of age and ability, which may vary from week to week.

Our professional coach manager, David Branks, Josh Constantine or the trained assistant coaches will coach them in all strokes and supervise them while they play singles and doubles.

The children will go through at least 4 different activities — smash, serving, forehand and backhand, singles and doubles each week. All children will be taught to serve before they move on to singles or doubles.

Please note Friday and Saturday times are rain or shine. If it is wet they will be inside doing volleys and being taught the rules of tennis etc. Prince demonstration rackets are always available free for use and to purchase if you wish.

Interclub
The Club will try and accommodate any children wishing to play interclub if they are of a suitable ability (must be able to serve and score) and we have enough children wishing to play. Please phone Josh Constantine 813 5615 or David Branks 817 9796 or 021 VOLLEY (021 865 539).

Optional Coaching
Group lessons with David Branks or Josh Constantine are available at an extra cost, usually $85 a term of 9 weeks. Weekly 45 minute lessons in groups of 6.

For all ages and standards call David on 817 9796 or 021 VOLLEY (021 865 539) to get this organized.

Private lessons are also available to fast track your child’s improvement.

Holiday Coaching: Clinics are held every holiday with accelerant clinics for more experienced players.
