Coaching

The club tennis coach, Felix Carpenter, runs junior coaching sessions for all age groups. These include the LTA 'Youth Start' initiative for children between 4-11 years, who are new to tennis, with the emphasis on having fun. The coaching sessions have been designed to develop foundational skills that allow participation in tennis coaching, events, and beginners competitions.

Coaching for adult beginners at the club is also available.

Felix Carpenter can be contacted at felixc.coaching@gmail.com for more information about coaching sessions. See also the Coaching page.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Advice - Updated 23rd March 2022

As a result of the removal of most Coronavirus regulations in Scotland, Sportscotland's 'Return to Sport and Physical Guidance' has been withdrawn. This means there are now no tennis or squash specific coronavirus-related restrictions in place, and all forms of tennis and squash activity can take place and all facilities can open.

Please be aware some baseline measures are being retained in the clubhouse to mitigate ongoing risks of transmission. This includes:

Good hand hygiene and surface cleaning;

Continued promotion of good ventilation.
