ADULT COURSES
NORTHWAY GARDENS

• Wear: Comfortable sports clothes (t-shirt, shorts/leggings/tracksuit) and non-marking sports trainers. In colder months wear layers; in rainy weather bring a light waterproof jacket. A cap and sunscreen are useful in sunny conditions.

• Bring: A water bottle, and your own racket if you have one

• Provided: We supply tennis balls, all training equipment, and loan rackets if you don’t own one yet.

Here’s a quick guide:

Beginner – New to tennis or just learning the basics (grips, strokes, footwork, scoring).

Improver – Can rally and serve but still working on consistency and control.

Intermediate – Confident rallying and serving, starting to use tactics and match play.

Advanced – Strong consistency, tactics, and match experience. Competes socially or in tournaments.

Mixed Courses (Improver & Intermediate) – Perfect for adult players who are past the beginner stage and want to progress together in a supportive environment.
