Your host & team of coaches will be waiting for you in the club lounge. Please feel free to arrive earlier if you'd like to join them for a coffee.

We start the day with a fun physical warm up (nothing too strenuous) and then get stuck into hitting some balls. Take this opportunity to meet your fellow players and find your rhythm on court.
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.

There will be no more than 1 coach to 6 players per court. Groups will be rotated and you will have opportunities to ‘Play Up’ & ‘Play Down.’ Please speak to your host if you feel you are being over/under challenged at any point.
