Adult Tennis Coaching at Merrow LTC

Autumn 2022 programmes are now available to book -  adult programmes cost between £7.55 and £12.55 per session, with a maximum of 6/7 players per programme for higher quality coaching. We have a variety of adult tennis coaching sessions running throughout the week at Merrow LTC. The programmes, developed by Head Coach, Jorge Martin Munoz, are designed to be progressive over a term of coaching sessions, so we request that you sign up to the term in order to keep improving your game.
​
Jorge Martin Munoz, former UAE Davis Cup Captain and Director of two tennis academies affiliated with the Madrid Tennis Federation, along with our team of experienced coaches, will run the sessions and will add great value to the adult coaching courses as he draws from his experiences of coaching top 70 ATP and top 27 WTA players.
​
N.B. All term time coaching sessions are non-refundable and missed sessions will not be allowed to be rolled over into other blocks of adult group coaching.  In the event that a session needs to be cancelled due to weather, the coach will contact the group to notify them that the session is cancelled. Cancellation is at the discretion of the Coach. No refunds are available but a credit will be available towards the next term of coaching. See Group Coaching Terms & Conditions for further information.

Coaching sessions are reserved for members of Merrow LTC prior to the start of the term. Non-members can book once the term has started. However, when you book a place on a course you will also be required to join the club. There are many types of Memberships including a Coaching membership.

Adult improvers (or 'Rusty Rackets')
There are two categories:

• "Rusty Rackets 1" aimed at Beginner adults who are seeking to rebuild confidence in their game and 
• "Rusty Rackets 2": aimed at Beginner to Intermediate players who feel more confident about playing competitive games but not quite confident enough to join the club box league or compete in the clubs annual tournament.

If you need to brush up on the basics, struggle to rally beyond a couple of shots or haven’t picked up a racket for years, then this is the course for you. The aim of the course is to cover all the basics that will give you the knowledge, skills and the confidence to be able to control the ball and stay in a rally. The course will cover the racket skills needed in order to control the ball on the backhand and forehand side, as well as the receiving skills required to read what the ball is going to do in order to position yourself for each shot. These are the fundamentals of consistency. The serve will also be looked at as well as basic shot selection and scoring. The aim is that, by the end of the course, you will be able to start the point with a serve, be able to rally out the point and keep score, thereby allowing you to challenge other players.
