Welbeck Tennis Club Junior Section

Our aim at the club is to introduce the great game of tennis to young people and enable them to progress according to their ability so that they are able to play the game successfully and enjoy their time on court.

We appreciate that not everyone will be a champion, however our coaching is aimed at improvement. Those members who do not agree with this should not be taking up the coaches and assistants time and occupying places in the classes when others are waiting to join us.

We have a waiting list of keen youngsters wanting to play hence any junior missing sessions for more than 3 weeks other than illness will be taken off the register and their place taken.

Please do not cause embarrassment by inviting friends but refer potential new members to Rita so that they can join our waiting list.

The coaches and their assistants are fully trained and are in sole charge on the courts.

Parents should not enter the courts unless invited by those in charge.
