Coaching Approach
At the Stonyhurst Tennis Academy, every session is designed to help children develop their skills, confidence and enjoyment of the game. Coaching is delivered in small groups of no more than 10 players, allowing our experienced coach to provide individual attention and tailored feedback.
Using two indoor courts within our LTA-standard Indoor Tennis Dome, players are grouped according to their age and ability, ensuring every child is appropriately challenged and supported. Whatever the weather, every session goes ahead as planned, providing consistent coaching throughout the programme. Whether they are taking their first steps in tennis or refining existing skills, children benefit from a welcoming environment where they can learn, improve and enjoy the sport.
