If you're thinking about buying a racket for Christmas for yourself or someone special please email me first for the 2014 range.
TENNIS HOLIDAYS FOR 2014 -
Thanks for your support in 2013, the biggest response so far!
I have 2 places for the MADRID TENNIS MASTERS weekend May 9th-11th trip which includes playing tennis, a night at the Madrid Open with the best seats and of course Madrid's famous nightlife.
I'm proposing the 'Tennis in the Spanish Sun' weekends for late March and late May/early June. These are great for maximising your tennis time with comprehensive coaching programme in a great value package. I can also organise your own private trip if there is a group of you and tailor it accordingly.
For any of these trips please email me for information.
Finally, many thanks again for your support during 2013. We now have one of the most thriving and active tennis facilities in London with a comprehensive coaching programme for all ages and abilities.

Clapham & Larkhall Park Tennis Update.
For the next 3 Sundays there will be some LTA sponsored Family Time session at Larkhall Park starting at 10am. All equipment is provided for a nominal fee of £3. An LTA Coach will be on hand for help and tips to get you going in this play session. For more information see http://www.lta.org.uk/allplaytennisfamilytime
For you tennis playing girls, the Womens Only Social Tennis resumes at Clapham Common on Wednesdays 10am-11.30am for £8. Aimed at improvers and above there is 30mins of warm-up and drill practises before an hour of matchplay. You need to be able to serve consistently because of this. Not rocket speed you understand, but better than if you threw the ball over! No advance booking required, just turn up, play and pay.
I also have a few spots for children aged 7yrs+ at 5pm on Mondays starting next week too. Please email me for more information.
Many thanks,
Julian
