Junior Coaching
tennisMAD JUNIOR ACADEMY
Established in 1985 the tennisMAD Junior Academy Programme operates out of a number of indoor and outdoor venues in the South West. Offering term time training and holiday camps, we provide year round tennis coaching for players of all levels aged 2 to 18 years. All our coaches are professionally qualified; LTA licensed and hold current CRB certificates.
tennisMAD Little Monkeys (2–4 yrs)
This is for children wishing to improve their ABC’S; Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed. These are the core skills required to participate in sports in general. This session is a great introduction to ball sports and a way to get youngsters introduced to tennis. They will learn life skills like sharing and working as part of a team, whilst interacting with other children of a similar age. Parents are also encouraged to join in with all activities!
tennisMAD Fun Clubs 5yrs – 10yrs
We offer 3 different fun clubs; Red, Orange and Green. These are for players who are fairly new to the game and are normally training once a week.
In the tennisMAD Fun Club’s children progress at their own pace through our unique training levels. These levels help to develop key skills, gain success and ultimately build confidence in their ability to play the game. All this is done whilst providing a gradual understanding of the basic rules and scoring systems for tennis.

The tennisMAD coaches will invite players to join the Stars Squads. This fast track programme is for keener players looking to play more tennis and to prepare them for competition at a suitable level as soon as they feel ready.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your enquiry. Could you perhaps give me a call on 07812 585992 and we can chat about this in more detail.
Thanks

Dear SDTC,
I have an 8yr old son who is very, very keen on tennis. He has had a few professional coaching sessions and we practice short tennis twice a week with our own equipment; he has excellent hand/eye/ball co-ordination and is generally a very good all round sportsman. I am trying to find a time when he could have some regular coaching, either a group or perhaps one-to-one at the start at a time when I can be there too so that I’m able to help him with practice. Being a teacher Saturdays are good and Friday from about 4:30 or 5pm. Mid week is hard as I have to prepare for lessons etc… the next day!
Is there anything in your booking programme that might work for us?
I would be really keen to hear from you.
Regards
Colin

Hi Debra,
The costs depend on the session length and the venue. If you are talking about SDTC are the children already attending, or are they looking to come along for a trial?
Please can you give me a bit more information?
Thanks
