Overview - please contact Giles Brook for course availability
No child is the same - we have a programme that matches their experience and the amount of time they want to spend playing - from weekly fun clubs to intensive courses. Individual lessons are also available and are a great way of fast tracking a players development.
Those taking the first step can take part in activity days and drop in sessions, while those wanting to make more of a commitment can also join development or performance squads. Juniors work on all the abilities required to become a good player, not only racket technique, but agility, flexibility, fitness, co-ordination and mental skills.
Withdean Tennis Academy is run by DC Leisure Ltd who run the complex on behalf of Brighton & Hove City Council. Therefore our pricing structure is set in agreement with Brighton & Hove City Council and part funded by DC Leisure Ltd.
We also offer junior membership of our 'fun house club'. Click here for details.
In Detail
The Mini Tennis Programme at Withdean Tennis Academy provides sessions for children from the age of 3 to 11. The ages below are provided as a guide to the levels, however, experience will also be taken into account when selecting the appropriate course. There is a programme of term time squads & competition for those who want to take their tennis more seriously. Squad players receive regular feedback reports to help keep parents updated on their child's progress.
Term Time Squads - whole term is payable in advance
Red £3.80 or £1.90 for members per hour. Orange & Green £5.30 or £2.65 for members. Turbo £6.00 or £3.00 for members per hourly session. As the length of each term is different the hourly rate is multiplied by the number of weeks in the term to get the total price of the course.
Junior Membership
Juniors can join our Fun House Club membership for £18 per month direct debit. Children then receive all courses at the centre half price, free swimming at Prince Regent and can access the 5 DC Leisure sites around Brighton & Hove
Competition
We run regular competitions for juniors. See the downloads page for details of current tournaments and entry forms.
We will be hosting the Brighton and Hove City Open tournament for juniors, including U10, U12, U14 and U18 boys and girls events during October half-term. This tournament will be replacing the Sussex Junior Winter Closed.
Red
These squads are for beginners aged under 8 or those progressing from the Diddy Tennis Drop in. The squad is designed for those wanting to make a concerted effort at improving their game, working on co-ordination skills and developing the basic tennis shots on small courts with low-bouncing balls.
Orange
For beginners and improvers aged 8 - 9 or those progressing from Red. Players continue to develop their FUNdamental tennis skills, and work on improving their rallying and serving using medium bounce balls on a 3/4 court and simple scoring methods.
Green
For improvers aged 9-11 or those progressing from Orange, Green provides the transition from the smaller Orange court to full court tennis. The aim is to get players to serve and rally from the baseline and use full tennis scoring. More volleying skills are taught during these sessions.
Turbo Tennis
For improvers aged 11+ or those progressing from Green, Turbo provides the final stage between junior and senior club tennis. The aim is to get players to serve and rally from the baseline with the full ball and to encourage players to play regular tournaments.
Birthday / Gift Vouchers / Parties
For birthdays or any occasion it is possible to arrange a number of vouchers for coaching. We can also deliver tennis parties that include fun games and a goody bag for players. Please contact the tennis office for more details.
