Group coaching is a fun and cost-effective way for players to develop their game. It encourages healthy competition and provides an opportunity for players to socialise and make friends. Group coaching teaches players skills and strategies that they get to practice in ‘match-like’ activities.
Players are placed into groups based on their playing ability. Blackwood Tennis Academy offers development coaching for players aged 4-12 which features modified equipment and fun group activities, along with squad coaching for players 12+ looking to play competitively.
Please contact Shane Hille for availability, pricing, and enquiries.
