Junior Coaching:

The Devonshire’s Junior Tennis Team includes for ages 3 – 17 years. Your player will be part of the LTA’s Mini Tennis Awards.

There are four stages of Mini Tennis: Tots, Red, Orange and Green. Your player will progress through different levels in each stage by working with their coach to learn new skills and take part in challenges.

Each award includes challenges to pass on rallying, serving, volleying and scoring with a great focus on not only improving as a player technically and tactically but having fun too!

If your player is a member at The Devonshire, they will receive an exclusive discount for coaching and full access to the club facilities. However, you do not need to be a member to attend junior coaching. We would love to see your player on court for a FREE group trial session. Booking is essential, so please contact the racquets team for more information.
