Free Tennis Lessons
One lesson per week per child is offered to all Junior members (aged 4-17) free of charge during May and June except for May 25, which is the Junior French Open tournament. Lesson participants are invited to register for the tournament to gain experience in a fun but competitive environment.
Free junior lessons during May and June are on Saturdays and are in a group lesson format with our certified coaches. The schedule is similar to that in the Tennis Lessons program in July and August, where start times are staggered according to age.
The start date is early May and is weather-dependent. The following is the schedule for our Saturday lessons depending on the age and skill level of the child:
| Time | Age (yrs) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 9-10 am | 4-6 | Mini |
| 10-11.30 am | 7-9 | 1 |
| 11.30-1 pm | 10-12 | 2 |
| 1-2.30 pm | 13-17 | 3 |
Saturday junior lessons are a great way for your child to enjoy their tennis membership and gain the skills they need for a lifetime of successful tennis play!
