Beginners & Improvers

Word of warning, Tennis is quite an addictive sport !

Whatever age or background, whether your goal is to stay fit, lose weight, try a new sport or make new friends, Beckenham Tennis Club can provide you with the means of achieving those goals.

Most of our members started as beginners and are now enjoying competitive tennis and even winning tournaments, as well as enjoying the social side of the club.

What does Beckenham Tennis club offer:

Free Saturday Group Lessons 2-4
Your tennis journey usually starts with the beginners/improvers group lessons.
They are dedicated to beginners and improvers and focus on technique and doubles play.
New players traditionally use these sessions to try the club and have a feel for the place. They take place alongside the club social play session and teas are served by members at 4pm. Most of the players carry on until their arm drops then head off to the bar for a well earned drink !
The coaching team will be monitoring your progress and once you have reached an intermediate level, you can join the main club session. This takes from 3 months to a year depending on how dedicated you are !

Coaching provided by WAM Tennis
Individual and group lessons are provided by WAM tennis and its talented group of coaches. Coaching is quite important as it allows players to improve at a much quicker rate and it prevents injury ! You can check out the coaching calendar on the WAM Tennis website http://www.wamtennis.co.uk
Our head coach Richard Whichello is a former world #1 junior so he will have quite a few tips to share with you !

Dedicated whatsapp group
The beginners and improvers have their own whatsapp group to organise matches or social sessions. It is a great way to get going and meet tennis buddies.

Tournaments
We organise tournaments for improvers.

Free Booking Court system
