Before You Join
|
The club runs assessment sessions to evaluate newcomers and we then try to find a squad with a vacancy to suit your level. Only at that stage, do you have to join the club. To be invited to an assessment, please email us with:
- your tennis experience i.e. the standard you are, or were, at
- your history of competing (if any)
- are you returning after a break from playing?
- please provide your mobile number and confirm that you can be available for weekday evening matches if selected to train with a team
- Please say if you can play weekday day-times or just evenings & weekends
N.B. Costs of the court(s) and coaching fees are shared equally between players present at any session.
After the assessment, if there is room in an appropriate squad, you will be invited to become a regular player.
