Mandatory Coaching Membership for Non-Hartswood Members:

By booking onto group sessions, Non-Members (Juniors and Adults) of Hartswood Tennis Club agreed to:

Pay a Coaching Membership fee of £25 per term to participate in group sessions. This fee allows group coaching and camps, but not court booking or private lessons. The membership will be valid for the duration of one term at a time.

This fee will be collected directly by Hartswood Tennis Club. Membership fees must be paid immediately when group sessions are booked for LOVEtennis, by following the below link, but not later than 24 hours after your group session booking.

Please see the link below to obtain your LOVEtennis coaching membership:

NB if you are a parent / guardian booking for a child, you will need to login to the LTA as yourself (creating a profile if necessary) but then take membership out for the child. Please do not create an LTA login with the child’s name and details but your adult email address, as that creates all sorts of problems!

Description of the class:

These sessions are ideal for players who have some experience in tennis and are starting to be able to maintain a rally when the incoming ball is slow, without spin and placed close to the player. Players in this sessions would not yet be confident enough to attend organised club tennis sessions but are working towards this.

Players in this class have some experience at volleys and serving but are not yet confident with those shots in a point play situation.

While players in this class are beginning to maintain rallies, they are not yet able to maintain rallies when the incoming ball has speed, spin or requires more movement. Players are also not yet confident at directing the ball or hitting with spin.

In these sessions the players will work on rock solid technical fundamentals with a mixture of ball feeding and rally drills.

Please note these sessions are NOT SUITABLE for beginners.

Please note a minimum of 4 players are needed to run these sessions.

To improve, regularity and continuity are crucial and therefore sessions run in blocks several weeks long.

Important booking information:

Since this booking program was designed with children in mind there is some confusing terminology and instructions. When looking for a new online system to use we found that not every system was perfect. This one meets all of our needs and it can still be used for adults but we do need you to follow the steps below to secure your booking.

When signing up for an adult class you will first have to register an account.

Once you do it will ask you to add a child. This “child” can be yourself.

You will have to list two Emergency Contacts, one of which could be yourself.

Now that you are registered you can proceed with booking the class of your choice.

Thank you for your patience.
