BTC Coaching Programme

Our resident LTA Licensed Level 1 coach Carolyn Haylett, who has coached in the area for 15 years, provides a term time Junior Coaching Programme, with group sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays, as well as adult coaching.

4 to 11 Years

Carolyn specialises in Mini Tennis, which is supported by the LTA, involving kids from the age of 4 to 11 years. This incorporates different sizes of courts and balls appropriate to the child’s age and ability. Local tournaments are on offer. She is also keen to develop older children to feed into the various club teams.

Teenagers

There is an unsupervised teenage session every Monday (see Court Schedule). Experienced teenagers who have come through from the coaching are always encouraged to integrate with the adults to improve further and to play in local tennis competitions.

Adults

There is adult coaching on Tuesday mornings, starting in the Spring. (see Court Schedule)
