Our coaching programme is in full swing all year round, with sessions through the week for all ages and abilities. Lead by Head Coach (and Durham & Cleveland LTA Performance Coach of the Year 2023) David Esther, our programme is receiving national recognition as our Juniors are now filling more and more places not only on our Durham & Cleveland County Coaching Programme, but also in LTA Regional and National Pathway programmes that identify the best talent in the North for high-level development.
The full coaching programme follows the LTA Youth coaching structure through all stages - Blue, Red, Orange, Green and Yellow. It includes sessions for Tots (3 yrs +) on Saturday mornings, Juniors (5-16 yrs) on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, Academy and Performance Squads on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and Adult Beginner and Intermediate on Thursdays as well as individual sessions. Check out @tennisisserved on Facebook or contact Liane at tennisisserved@outlook.com or on 07769 184579 for more information and to book your place.
Our next programme of courses for all ages up to 18 runs from Tuesday, 27th February to Sunday 24th March and places can be booked directly online at the links below (subject to availability). Performance and Academy Squad courses are by invitation, and adult sessions are ‘pay and play’ on the day.
Our Coaching courses operate in blocks of weeks coinciding with school terms. All sessions take place at Shotley & Benfieldside Club. Our coaching programme runs all-year-round – and with our new Air Dome, all sessions are guaranteed to take place, all year round, in good conditions. All coaching is available to members and non-members alike – members benefit from a 25% discount on prices, and non-members are invited to join the Club after completing a course.
The coaching programme is expanding all the time, so look out for new sessions and times that could be just what you’re looking for.
Our Head Coach David Esther runs all these sessions, supported by his coaching team at Tennis Is Served. David is an LTA Level 3 Accredited+ and Licensed coach, and all our coaches are Lawn Tennis Association trained and certified, are qualified in Safeguarding and Protection and First Aid, and have LTA-verified DBS certificates.
