Our courses for adults are structured on three levels:

Level 1 courses are for players with little, or no, tennis experience. The course will primarily focus on technique and will help you to develop an understanding of the game and the four main strokes (serve, forehand, backhand and volley). The course provides support to help players develop their own style and learn about effective body movement for tennis. Level 1 courses may be taken more than once to establish a springboard to level 2.

Level 2 courses are for players with a sound tennis background and for the ‘Rusty Rackets’ who have played tennis in the past and who want to get back up to speed. These players can play, sustain a rally, and score. The course will allow players to explore effective techniques and aim to develop confidence in playing points.

Level 3 courses are for the more competent players with match play experience. These courses aim to develop the player’s tactical awareness, physical fitness and mental focus, using high impact training drills and match play.

If you’re still unsure about which level is for you, please contact the Tennis Centre on 020 8871 4706 or talk to an All Star coach in person at the courts.

Tennis Xpress

Tennis Xpress is an active and dynamic introduction for starter adult players and recommended by the ITF as the best way to learn the game. Designed as a ten-hour course over five weeks for clubs and tennis facilities, Tennis Xpress is centred on the use of slower Green balls (25% slower) and Orange balls (50% slower) to ensure that players quickly learn the rules of tennis, and the basic techniques and tactics of tennis, in an active way.
