Adults
Elstead Village Tennis Club
Adult Coaching
We run regular courses for all standards of players from beginners through to team players. The courses are advertised on the website, e-mail and at the club, and are run during the day and evenings.
Beginner Tennis
Picking up a racquet for the first time, then you’ve come to the right place. The standard of this class is more suitable for those players who are beginners or perhaps have not played for some while. Groundstrokes, volleys and services will be covered with real enthusiasm, meaning learning will be fun.
Rusty Racquets
Played years ago, and would like to start again, we look forward to seeing you. Again all the basics will be covered, and you’ll soon be confident enough to come to a club night.
Improvers
This class is for those tennis players who can hit all the basic strokes with fair consistency. Adults participating in these courses will be eager to improve their existing skills as well as learning new ones such as spin serves, sliced drop shots and doubles tactics.
Team Player
Playing for a team, or want to play for a team, then ask about team practices.
