The Programme

Over the last 40 years Paul Butcher has developed a successful squad programme based on FIVE SIMPLE PRINCIPALS

AFFORDABILITY multiple squad hours for the price of one individual lesson per week.
REPETITION same systematic drills repeated for long term retention
CONTINUITY of coach for consistency
COMPETITION learn to compete within each session
SYSTEMATIC to guarantee transferring skills to the match court

Your child’s journey can begin as early as LTA Youth Tots (2-4 year olds) or Red Ball Stage (4-8) where they will have lots of fun learning the basics principles of tennis through lots of throwing, catching, rallying and playing tennis related games.

Once a young person shows a keen interest in tennis and is progressing well we like to move them into on of our Academy Groups. This is where they really start to learn the game and learn to compete.

Although we recommend they start young, we have beginner LTA Youth groups for all ages. BOOK NOW for a FIVE Week Head Start Beginners Course. or call 01752 893700 for more information about teenagers beginner sessions.
