FAQ's

Do I need my own racket?

Yes, but if you don't have a racket, we can provide one for the sessions. We only ever keep 2 or 3 spare rackets available. If you already own a racket, feel free to bring it along, and we will assess it for your use. Comfortable tennis shoes, suitable trainers and sportswear are recommended.

​

What level is the Beginner course suitable for?

The Beginner course is ideal if you are completely new to tennis, haven’t played since school, or are returning after a long break. No prior experience is required, we start with the basics and build confidence week by week.

​

What level is "Improver"?

Improvers are players who can already rally a little and keep the ball in play but want more consistency, control and confidence. If you’ve done a beginner course before or play socially but feel stuck, this level is ideal.

If you’re unsure which level suits you best, feel free to get in touch before booking.

​

What happens if it rains?

Sessions go ahead in most weather conditions. However, if weather or court conditions make play unsafe, or if the club closes the courts, the session will be rescheduled where possible in line with our Terms & Conditions.

​

Can I miss a week?

Yes, but any sessions missed due to personal reasons cannot be rescheduled or carried forward. We recommend attending all six weeks to get the most benefit from the course.

​

Do I need to be a member of Kilternan Parish Lawn Tennis Club?

No, club membership is not required for this course. All coaching and court fees are included in the course price.

​

Is this suitable if I'm not very fit?

Yes. The sessions are designed for adults of varying fitness levels. Drills are progressive, with regular breaks, and you're encouraged to work at your own pace. If you have any injuries or medical concerns, please let the coach know in advance.

​

How many players are in each group?

Groups are capped at 12 players maximum over three courts to ensure quality coaching and plenty of hitting time for everyone.

​

Do I need to book separately for each player?

Yes. Each participant must have their own booking. One subscription or pricing plan covers only one player.
