Client Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it…

“Our children love their weekly tennis coaching with Russell and Josh. We have taken part for years and the coaches have been brilliant at making tennis fun to learn and appropriate for their level. We love all the organised practice opportunities, especially in summer on the beautiful grass courts.”

Maddy Halliwell

“We joined RPLTC several years ago and my son has progressed and developed his love of tennis considerably with the great coaching there under the guidance of Russell. He is now a regular team player representing the club in junior matches and we both thoroughly enjoy coming to the club to play together.”

Frequently asked questions

Or contact us at any time
How many times per week should my child play?

This is completely up to you, your budget, time available and how quickly you would like to improve.

For the quickest improvement we would encourage playing twice per week, take advantage of two coaching sessions per week at discounted prices and join in our weekly Match Practice sessions which run throughout the year, or junior socials during the summer.

Who can join in the Match Practice sessions?

Our junior Match Practice sessions run on Wednesdays 17:00-18:00 throughout the year.

We encourage all children who are making progress with their game in the red, orange and green ball groups and looking to gain match practice in controlled conditions.

The coaching team will run the session to gain valuable experience amongst a calm, friendly environment with a strong emphasis on learning how to deal with winning and losing – life skills, which are also important for tennis

How does Payment work?

There are 7 blocks in a year, which follow the school term with coaching running across all holidays apart from Christmas.

Two weeks before the start of each block we will send out an email with a payment link to make secure online payment before the next block of coaching begins.

What if I miss a lesson?

If you can’t make your lesson don’t worry, we have more than one lesson per age group running every week. Just make sure there is space in the session and book an extra session through the booking portal or contact Russell by email to let him know.

How do I cancel my child’s place?

At the end of each block we will write to you to remind you that payment will be coming out of your account shortly. To cancel you will just need to log into your booking portal before this date.

What if it’s bad weather?

In inclement weather we will always try to get the session on. If we decide that the weather is too bad or the courts are unsafe, then you will receive an email to confirm any cancellations with as much notice as possible.

It is the coach who will decide if the weather is unsuitable for coaching to take place. If a session runs and you choose not to attend, then this is your choice to miss the session. You will however have the option to make up the missed session on one of the other weekly classes if there is available space.

Buy or Borrow Head Tennis Rackets

We have a mobile Head PRO shop with the very latest junior and senior rackets available to trial and purchase. Just speak to Russell to talk through the best racket for you.

My child is progressing well what should we do?

Our aim is make tennis a life-long choice for players at every level. For children who are performing well and making tennis their first choice sport we encourage you to speak to your coach or Russell to develop short and long term plans. Ideally we look for your child to receive 2 lessons per week with a weekly practice or competitive match. We can advice of local matchplays, competitions or club matches.
