WHAT IS OUR GOAL

Our goal is to bring tennis to as many people as possible by offering high-quality accessible sessions at an affordable price while committing to provide opportunities to Play – Train – Compete. 

We want to offer three core factors…

  • Play – Everyone should have the opportunity to pick up a racket in a fun save environment. This could be coaching or playing with a friend or family at a venue. 
  • Train – We want to ensure all players have awareness of the pathways available to them on the playing and education pathways.
  • Compete – We want to encourage all players to compete at the appropriate level. We know that those who compete will stay in the sport for longer.

We believe in what we offer… so our payment terms mean you can cancel you Direct Debit at any time. 

OUR VALUES

Quality – be the best you can be on and off the court

Honesty – We require honesty so we can provide the best support and we will always provide unconditional honesty

Hard Work – Tomorrow begins today with everyone working hard together
