SESSION INFO
SOCIAL PLAY
Social sessions are open to all abilities and offer a relaxed and welcoming environment to play friendly games, meet new people and have fun on court - no matter your experience level. You'll play 10-12 minute games in a round robin, so you'll play plenty and meet lots of other players.
GRADED PLAY
SKILLS, DRILLS & MATCHPLAY
Playing matches without drilling will not improve your game! The best players drill, drill, drill (...and drill!) Our club coach, Scott, runs these super sessions, focusing on a new skill each week. Following an hour of skills & drills, you'll get to put what you've learned into practice, with a dedicated hour of matchplay.
The Club will be introducing a new system of graded play commencing on Tuesday 4 August. There are 6 levels of graded play: an explanation of what they are, and how to register, is provided here.
Club grading is managed by the Grading Committee and run by our Club Coach, Scott.
