Improver Adult Tennis – Course Description

These sessions are ideal for players who have some previous tennis experience and are beginning to develop the ability to maintain a rally when the incoming ball is slow, has little or no spin, and is played relatively close to them.

Players at this level are not yet confident enough to attend organised club tennis sessions independently, but are working towards developing the skills and confidence to do so.

At this level, players will generally:

• Have some experience rallying from the back of the court
• Be able to maintain short rallies when the incoming ball is slow and predictable
• Have some experience with volleys and serving
• Still be developing confidence using these shots during point play
• Be working towards handling balls with more pace, spin and movement
• Be developing their ability to direct the ball and generate spin

Players are not yet expected to consistently maintain rallies when the incoming ball has greater speed or spin, or when they need to move more around the court.

Sessions will focus on developing rock-solid technical fundamentals, using a combination of coach-fed exercises, ball-feeding drills and progressive rally-based activities.

The aim is to build consistency, confidence and the foundations needed to progress towards more advanced play.

🚫 Please note: These sessions are NOT suitable for complete beginners.

Players should have some previous tennis experience before joining.

Please note: A minimum of 4 players is required for these sessions to run.

To support player development, regularity and continuity are crucial, so sessions are offered in blocks running over several weeks.
