So sad that yet another excellent clinic is over. With each clinic I attend I take away another tip or two to work on and improve my personal game as well as learning how to be a better doubles partner. Thank you Active Away!

Just returned from a fabulous 2 day Active Away tennis clinic which was fun and a great experience. I learned new techniques and practiced lots of shots which will improve my game. I feel more confident now as a player and was inspired by the coaches who led the clinic.

I'm still buzzing from a one day tennis clinic yesterday in Nottingham. It exceeded expectations and as well as a cracking day, I genuinely felt a shift in my tennis confidence. Just the right level of coaching input across many hours with things I could implement straight away. A good laugh and very tiring with a warm, engaging coaching team. The lead coach Steve was superb and all his young coaches were the bees knees giving specific, personal support and tips. Love love loved it and saving already to go again soon

The course content is very well thought out and the drills relevant to the coaching points. Charlie (our host) was absolutely brilliant. Steve was also excellent and he and Charlie really synced together so that the delivery was smooth, effective and fun. All the coaches gave lots of individual feedback during the drills. I really enjoyed the 2 days of coaching and have learnt a great deal. Thank you Activeaway.

I have had a lot of tennis coaching, and been on many tennis holidays with other companies, but this was by far the best doubles training I've ever had. The level of enthusiasm and energy both coaches displayed, consistently, and for all of the guest, was very impressive.

It's difficult to imagine how much we can learn from these guys in just a couple of days. The drills work equally whatever the standard - and showed me what a difference a simple adjustment in stance or approach makes to the end result. Putting it into practice and forgetting the bad habits will be the real challenge.

If you love and enjoy tennis then Active Away is for you! Their tennis doubles coaching programme is well designed with bite size theory, demos, drills and lots of incredibly useful and practical tips. They always make it great fun and inclusive by mixing up the groups, coaches and by including fun competitive elements like Dingles. They are really open to feedback and their programmes are constantly evolving. I am a repeat customer and have just come back from another incredibly enjoyable two day indoor tennis clinic in Nottingham and I also went on a fabulous all inclusive holiday to Corfu in October 2021. I have already booked to go to Turkey with Active Away in April 2022.

My doubles partner and I attended an Activeaway Clinic in Nottingham (David Lloyd West Bridgley) for the first time this weekend. We really didn’t know what to expect but were extremely impressed by the quality of coaching, the standard of the facilities and the professional yet extremely friendly and engaging nature of the Activeaway staff. We learnt so much that it would be easy to feel confused – however they backed up the coaching with hand outs and links to videos. I have absolutely no doubt that our game has improved and that we will return for either more weekend courses or a longer holiday – which many of our fellow participants had already been on and recommended. I have absolutely no hesitation in saying that you will not regret it if you attend one of these courses. Seriously good coaching and seriously good fun!!! Thank you Charlie, Josh, Jason, Ben and Steve. As Arnie would say – I’ll be back!!

Another fantastic week with Active Away with 11 members from our club. We had 4 extremely talented coaches that went out of their way to be inclusive, friendly and professional. The end of week exhibition match was one of our highlights and we were all sad to leave. We're just looking forward to planning our next one!

I attended a day tennis coaching clinic at West Bridgeford David Lloyd club on Saturday 7th December. It was a very enjoyable experience. The coaches were very professional and knowledgeable but were also friendly and encouraging throughout. The day was well prepared and flowed nicely from session to session. I would recommend the coaching to anyone who enjoys their tennis.

Just come back from two excellent days of coaching at Nottingham. Coaches couldn't do enough to help both the group and with individual issues. Real bonus that they also so joined us to socialise in the evening. Very much looking forward to going away with active away again.

I attended the one day clinic at West Bridgeford on Saturday 16th November 2019. I was introducing friends to the whole active away experience having been on three holidays myself !! The whole day was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. We were put into groups of similar standard , and benefited from an A team of coaches , Josh , Steve , Jason and Charlie . The great thing was that they all rotated throughout the day and all had great tips and advice to give which has really helped my game. I also met some lovely people during the day . My friends all really enjoyed themselves too and are keen to look at holidays and future clinics. I would highly recommend the clinics to everyone, they are brilliant and focused and you really get so much out of it whatever standard you are. I am looking forward to booking some more clinics for next year and of course another holiday !! Thanks Josh, Steve, Jason and Charlie ! You did an awesome job ! X

This was a fantastic clinic. Not only are all of the coaches welcoming, encouraging and fun but extremely professional and gave great technically appropriate advice. The doubles tactics were invaluable. The standard of the other participants was similar but well managed nonetheless. I can recommend Active Away to anyone wanting to hone their doubles’ performance. We also got some 1-2-1 feedback on our serves which is always necessary. I will book again.

Just returned from an amazing day of tennis at West Bridgford David Lloyd. The coaches were first class, very professional yet really fun and everyone left the day feeling positive about their game. Both the demonstrations by the four coaches and the accompanying drills meant that the new tactical play and positional advice could become embedded to your memory. It was an absolute joy to play indoors on such an excellent surface and the groups were constantly changed so everyone could play with a variety of returners. The coaches made time to chat to everyone both at lunch and afterwards and also offered valuable tips on technique an individual basis. A brilliant way to spend a Saturday- I shall be booking another clinic in the New Year 😀 Thank you Josh and your team for all the fantastic ideas to move my game to the next level!

We have been on 4 Active Away holidays and have already booked for next year. If you are a tennis player and enjoy improving your game this is the company to travel with. Fantastic coaches and hosts, always helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make your holiday the best it can be. We have just attended the West Bridgford, Nottingham venue for a one day clinic. Once again, great coaching, lots of new drills and ideas and great company. I can’t recommend Active Away highly enough if you want to improve your tennis skills. 5 star all the way. Thanks Steve and Josh

What's Included
What's Not Included
Itinerary
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.
Saturday
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.
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 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.
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.
Saturday - Setup, Timing, Rhythm
In this session we will be focusing on your setup, timing, and rhythm with three simple teaching points to boost your consistency. By mastering these fundamentals, you'll enhance your overall performance on court.
Sunday - Consistent Contact
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 dominate from the back with an excellent contact point.
Saturday
Our most frequently asked question, “How do I become more consistent?” Here’s your answer. In this session we will look to improve your spacing from the ball when rallying from the baseline, ensuring more precise and controlled shots.
Sunday
Here we essentially teach you your job in doubles and how to avoid your opponent’s territory while dominating your own. We’ll get you playing some high quality doubles in no time!
Saturday
Refine your groundstrokes with three essential technical tips. While three may sound minimal, these teaching points are key to significantly improving your consistency and precision during play.
Sunday
Curious about the difference between poaching and intercepting? In this masterclass, we'll break down each technique and show you how to effectively incorporate them into your doubles game.
Saturday
Ever wondered about that quirky formation tennis professionals use on TV? It's called the I formation, and for the first 10 minutes of this session we will demonstrate how you can effectively use it at club level. You will then have 35 minutes to implement this to elevate your doubles game, coordination and essentially dominate the net!
Sunday
Master the art of effective poaching: understand the strategic timing, positioning, and execution that make it a game-changing tactic in doubles play. Explore how to anticipate opportunities and disrupt your opponents' strategy with well-timed poaches.
It’s lunch time! The cafe has a fantastic selection of deli food which caters for all dietary requirements.

Mastering control over your serves and returns is crucial in doubles. In this session you will learn how to dictate play with precision and strategic placement to gain a competitive edge on the court.
Sunday
Ever wondered about the hand signals your net player uses, which you may or may not pretend to understand? Look no further! In this session, we'll teach you the key signals for effective poaching. Recognising these cues will help you anticipate your opponent's moves and execute precise poaches to gain the upper hand in doubles play.

Saturday
Who doesn’t want a clean, crisp return that pushes your opponent off the court? I know I do! Here we teach you how to anticipate and react swiftly to maximise your effectiveness in doubles play.
Sunday
Fed up with getting lobbed or mishitting your overheads? Fear not! In this session, we’ll refine your overhead technique to boost your confidence and sharpen your decision-making skills. By the end, you’ll be putting away overheads with precision rather than relying on power.
Now it’s time to put everything you’ve learned into practice – why not give the coaches a run for their money!
At the end of the clinic we will take a quick group picture which will be shared on social media (please feel free to Opt-Out). It’s a lovely way to remember your day(s).
After the clinic you’ll receive an email with all of the ‘key takeaways’ from the day.
