+ YOUTH START AND COVID-19
Your child’s safety at Youth Start courses is our priority. Our coach will be delivering sessions in accordance with the Government and LTA’s COVID-19 guidelines for England, Scotland and Wales, which can be found here.
Tennis is a naturally socially distant sport, and with these measures in place is widely considered to be a safe, low-risk activity. However, to support coaches in keeping sessions as safe as possible, parents are encouraged to:
Maintain physical distancing with other adults whilst watching sessions
Follow any additional guidance provided by coaches or the venue where sessions are taking place
Should you have any questions or concerns, we would encourage you to speak to your coach.
FOR AGES 4 - 8
YOUTH START
This is a fun starter course for children who have never played the sport before, or may have played very little. Packed full of fun games and training drills, it also gives parents the chance to join in too.
+ MORE DETAILS
Youth Start is for kids aged 4-11 years who are new to tennis. We’ll help teach kids new life skills, developing them as both players and people. This is a modern approach to tennis training. Forget standing around waiting for your turn to hit a forehand. Think dynamic sessions catered for all abilities.
We want to encourage children to play tennis throughout their lives – and be active too. So, if your child is aged 4-8, why not give it a try?
