Dear Parents, Participants and Members

Dear Parents, Participants and Members

Dear parents, participants and members

We hope that you are enjoying the summer weather. Looking ahead we would like to take this opportunity to update you on the Tennis Coaching Programmesat the Clubfrom September 2015

As you know John Carver is retiring on 31 August 2015 after running the tennis coaching programme at the Club for the past 14 years and from September 2015 the Club is taking the full junior and adult coaching programmes in-house and will be managing all coaching

This will include:

Processing all payments

Liaising with all players and parents about the various coaching options including age groups and standards available

Sub-contracting fully qualified and suitable coaches

Providing information about regular junior and adult tournaments and box-leagues and much more

Toby Huddlestonehas been appointed asTennis Coaching Coordinator and he will primarily be responsible for the smooth running of the junior and adult term time programmes plus the kidscamps which will begin in the Easter holiday 2016. Toby has been with us coaching at the Club since January2015 so some of you may already know him

The Junior and Adult Coaching Programmes will be delivered by a professional coaching team consisting of:

Scott Dobson level 4. Scott has been coaching for many years and has a very successful track record at all levels particularly at mini-red tennis level

Toby Huddlestone level 3. Toby has been coaching for a year and has recently qualified as a level 3 coach. He is keen to help the club drive the coaching programme forward

Matt Cartwright level 3. Matt will be joining the coaching team following three years of successful coaching at the Oxtalls Tennis Centre in Gloucester and is keen to introduce Cardio Tennis

All coaches will be licensed with the LTA and have the required qualifications necessary to coach tennis safely, including a live DBS and First aid certificates and have attended LTA safe-guarding training

The club will be offering a full Junior Coaching Programmefrom Monday 7 September 2015 and the intention is to keep as much as possible to the same coaching groups run by John Carver and Scott Dobson in terms of days and times with a few inevitable adjustments depending on final numbers

For new players or a parent wanting to sign up a new players there will also be free weekly assessment session on Saturday mornings from10am-11am with one of our coaches to enable them to advise which sessions would be appropriate as well as talking through the different options

The major proposed changes are to:

Implementa coaching philosophy that we expect all coaches, players and parents to adhere to. This will guarantee that the coaching delivered at the Club will be of the highest possible standard and professionally delivered ensuring that participants improve, enjoy and succeed through being involved in training and competing, whilst having fun and making friends along the way

Introduce a termly squad coaching technical skills programme that all coaches adhere to, so that all players are focusing on the same thing each week, irrespective of their ability and age

Start an autumn indoor tots session in the week for players aged between 3-5 years, so they can learn the basics of tennis in a warm, safe and enjoyable environment

Continue and develop adult groups of varying standards throughout the year including Cardio Tennis

Provide a comprehensive Coaching Policy covering:

  • Membership requirements for adults and children
  • Wet weather or snow arrangements for adults and children
  • Illness or injury
  • Payment & late payment
  • Cancellation

Please see the attached Coaching Policy for full details

Coaching Price Rise

The coaching prices have had to increase due to club and coaching staff costs to ensure higher staff to pupil ratios. This will in turn increase the amount of coach to player time

Membership

Children do not need to be a member to join any of our coaching groups. However, non-members will pay a £1 surcharge per coaching session and it may be in your interest to consider joining your child as a member. The cost of junior membership is:

  • U8 @ £10 per annum
  • U11 @ £39 per annum (or £13 per term)
  • U18 @ £52 per annum (or £17.50 per term)

The junior membership not only saves money on coaching fees but allows children to book courts within the junior playing times to play with friends and practice their skills. The added bonus is that parents can play with their children and use the club facilities free of charge. (Excludes the Gym, Fitness Studio and Sauna)
