As a first timer not knowing what to expect, it's hard to believe the level of service and dedication provided by the active away team. Many guests had been multiple times and yet we were made to feel most welcome by all. Thanks so much.

I had a fantastic weekend clinic and have learned so much. Some information confirm what my coach already teaches and plenty of new information to take away and work on. Charlie Tom and Rhea are excellent coaches and no matter what the question you felt they gave you their time and attention to answer it. It was lovely to meet other players from all over London and surrounds and everyone was treated with respect and everyone was included no matter what standard of player you are. We were kept busy throughout the day with lots of practical practice so nobody was standing waiting for a turn for too long even though we had reduced courts at one stage. I would thoroughly recommend the clinic and would like to maybe one day try one of the holidays. Thank you to Charlie Tom and Rhea for making it so enjoyable and informative. I hope to be a better player as a result of putting all I have learned into practice. Thank you again.

Attended a one day clinic with Active Away for the second time and they are just brilliant. Full on and very hard work but so much covered. Small groups of up to 6 with each coach so a lot of individual attention to detail. Met some lovely fellow minded tennis players and it was a super day. I would say I am an intermediate club player, play in club ladders and Kent league matches division 4. This clinic was just right for my ability.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Had all of my questions answered, learnt loads of information and got to put it into practise in drills and match play. I now know where to stand, how to move, what shot to chose and how to deal with a lot of balls both at the net and the base line. Really really good!

A brilliant course delivered by excellent coaches. As a novice doubles player, I learnt so much about all aspects of the game. As someone who hated being at the net, I left loving it! A very fun and instructive weekend, would highly recommend.

A great day spent getting better at the basics of doubles. Have come away with lots of clear things to put into action. All the coaches were very friendly - I’ll be shouting “switch!” in my sleep

Excellent one-day refresher course on all aspects of doubles tennis, catering for every level of player. Coaches were great and some new activities introduced to the programme to vary it for those like me who'd attended previous events. Would fully recommend, and will be booking again when they're next back at Stratford Tennis Centre.

I had a fabulous week in May at the stunning Pine Cliffs resort in Portugal. The host, tennis coaching and organisation of all events were first class. I met a group of lovely people, most of whom like myself, have been to several Activeaway holidays over the years. The coaches and everybody were so friendly and had great sense of humour. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and will be joining for another holiday in the not too distant future!

Been guided and instructor by one of the masters of the sport for many years now. Not bragging but with Dave’s guidance and drills we managed to notch up 2 Gold medals to our tally. Honestly, fantastic coach, a fountain of knowledge and he’s quite decent in a wheelchair too. Highly recommend a lesson or two. ☑️☑️

Excellent week in Croatia with Matt and Nick. Just the best tennis holiday you could choose.. Everyone improved their game, with coaching tips that will make big changes to anyone's game at every level. The social side was great with everyone enjoying the off court time getting to know each other and making new friends. I'll be choosing Active Away again in 2020. Julienne

I’ve just been to Croatia on my third holiday with Active Away and have had an amazing time! The tennis coaching was of the usual excellent standard; the coaches make sure everyone gets the coaching they need and that you have a lot of fun at the same time! The holidays are perfect for single travellers as the coaches work hard to make sure everyone has an opportunity to socialise off the courts too! These guys are so passionate about what they do and really know their stuff; if you love to play tennis you will love Active Away holidays!!

Another wonderful holiday with Active Away, this time in Croatia. The tennis was fantastic, & the coaching was second to none! All the coaches gave their all, both on & off the court, making sure we all had the best possible time. The location was stunning... the tennis was great & the company was the best! Thanks Active Away... here’s to the next time! 🎾🌟🎾🌟🎾

A great week with Active Away in Croatia, if you’re looking for a tennis holiday then Active Away is the first place to start. Great locations, nice hotels and superb tennis instruction that should (🤔) help to make you a better player. The coaches work as a team and offer encouragement all the way through to the last drink at the bar! Looking forward to next year.

Just returned from a truly amazing week with Active Away. Top quality tennis coaching at the incredible luxurious resort at Costa Navarino, Greece. The organisation by the coaches was excellent which included some fun competitions too. Well done to Josh and his team!

Activeaway🎾 Job done!🏆 A week at Costa Navarino with the brilliant coaches at Activeaway has fixed my serve, 🎾 my back hand now sometimes goes over the net with aplomb, and to top it all, I’ve had some fun, sea and sun! The food was Michelin star standard and the accommodation, service and facilities were 5 star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ With a physio as a Spa therapist, who did the best deep tissue back massage ever, what more could one ask for on a tennis coaching/social holiday?! The beautiful beach extending around the bay, lent itself to amazingly refreshing and energising swims and long vigorous walks. To watch the sunset from the beach lounger, glass of rosè in hand, consolidated what was a memorable and very worthwhile tennis holiday.😃😎 I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking this trip with Activeaway🎾 Just do it- even as an individual, one feels comfortable and included- one doesn’t have to book as part of a group.😃

Recentely returned from a fantastic short break in Sotogrande in Southern Spain with Active Away, the 7th time I have been out there with them and it has always proved to be a brilliant week end. I have been on long week ends, week long breaks in Greece & Dubai and also day and week end coaching workshops in the UK and the guys never fail to deliver. Fantastic locations and facilities, great professional coaching and hosting to the highest of standards. They are great team at all levels, showing a fantastic positive attitude, dedication & commitment to what they obviously love doing, coaching tennis and socialising!! Cant fault them!

Just returned from another fantastic Active Away tennis holiday in Costa Navarino, Greece. This was easily my best Active Away holiday so far. The venue was superb, as was the tennis coaching, led by Steve and Dan. A really brilliant experience all round. I can’t recommend the quality of the coaching highly enough - along with the hotel, its location and facilities.
What's Included
What's Not Included
Itinerary
Your host & team of coaches will be waiting for you in the reception area. Please feel free to arrive earlier if you’d like to join them for a coffee.
Saturday
We start the day with a fun physical warm up (nothing too strenuous) and then get stuck into hitting some balls. We start by talking about the different feelings you have as you go through your racket warm up to help you get in a rhythm.
Sunday
Sunday starts in a similar vain to the Saturday, with a light physical warm up, followed by a racket warm up. The warm up is similar, but today we talk about playing a mini-lob and incorporating more movement.
Note
The coaches will be assessing your playing level, we try to ensure everyone has an opportunity to ‘Play Up’ & ‘Play Down.’ Please speak to your host if you feel you are being over/under challenged at any point. We operate on a 1 Coach: 6 Players: 1 Court basis.
Saturday
Being able to dominate from the back of the court is one of the most effective ways to be a great doubles player. In this session we talk a lot about how to use your strengths and transition from the back to the net.
Sunday
30 minutes of Rally Skills, looking at how good your rally quality is from the back of the court and some effective tips on how we can contact more balls in with an excellent contact point.
Saturday
Our most famous Tennis Coaching session - the Louis Cayer Doubles DNA. In essence, we teach you your job in doubles, where to start and then where to move to. We'll get you playing some high quality doubles in no time!
Sunday
There’s nothing more pesky than someone dropping a weak 2nd serve over the net and being super awkward to deal with! In this session we look at how we can attack this second serve and ‘build a wall’ as a returning team.
Saturday
It’s lunch time! Our suggestion is to pre-order lunch from the on site cafe (on arrival), so your lunch will be ready as soon as you walk off the court. The cafe has a fantastic selection which caters for all dietary requirements.
Sunday
Ever played someone with a great 1st serve? We teach you the basics of dealing with that faster serve. We also look at the reverse – what happens if your partner has a great serve – how can you make the most of this?
Saturday
If you've ever played someone who is good at drop shots, you'll know how challenging they are to beat! We've come up with a great, fast paced drill that will allow you to retrieve those drop shots and turn the point around.
Sunday
As the returners partner, you have to be super sharp! You’ve got to make quick decisions and move to certain positions on the court. We look at the ‘X’ drill – which is based around which position you move to depending on what return is hit.
Saturday
This session is all about how to be 'a wall' as a pair at the net. Where to move, when to move and how to not get passed! You'll find this drill great fun and seriously dynamic.
Sunday
It’s lunch time! Our suggestion is to pre-order lunch from the on site cafe (on arrival), so your lunch will be ready as soon as you walk off the court. The cafe has a fantastic selection which caters for all dietary requirements.
Saturday
Emma Raducanu is exceptional at this shot - the drive volley! Do you play people who lob all the time, and force you back deep? Well a great answer to that lob is to hit a drive volley - we will teach you the basics, and you'll have a go!
Sunday
Bring your post lunch coffee with you on court to watch your coaches in action for 15 minutes! Discover what the ‘volley pressure gauge’ is and the different feelings you can have on a volley.
Saturday
Your chance to put everything from the day into practice! You'll either play some live doubles, or challenge the coaches in a fun drill to cap off a great day of doubles, fun and learning.
Sunday
We’ve all experienced that feeling of missing an easy volley! Well this session is all about ‘going and getting’ that volley. You’ll be putting those volleys away with precision not power at the end of this session.
Ever experienced someone hit a ball hard at you as a volleyer? Well we have some great ways to counteract that – including the fact that the best volleyers do nothing! Next time someone hits a ball hard at you, you’ll have no problem handling it!
