Adult Coaching at Excel Tennis Academy

SUBSCRIPTION-BASED SESSION – NOT PAY & PLAY

This is a CORE SKILLS session

Our Core Skills sessions teach the core skills needed to play tennis successfully. They are perfect for beginners, players coming back to the game (“Rusty Rackets”), and improvers.

Sessions are friendly, active and progressive, helping you develop your technique, movement, consistency and confidence. You'll work on the key skills needed to enjoy playing tennis, including rallying, serving, returning and playing points.

Good to know

Perfect for beginners and improvers
Ideal if you're returning to tennis after a break
No club membership required – anyone can join our coaching
Small groups and low player-to-coach ratios, giving you plenty of individual attention
Equipment provided if you don't have your own racket

Payment

Weekly coaching is paid for through a monthly subscription, spreading the cost of 37 weeks of term-time coaching across the year.

Your subscription continues on a rolling monthly basis until cancelled.

Booking your place

Your booking will initially appear on a waiting list while we check your subscription. Once everything is confirmed, we'll move you to an active place and send you a confirmation email.

Important Information

How to Book Your Weekly Coaching

To attend this weekly coaching session as a regular player, you will need an active Adult Coaching Subscription.

The process is simple:

1. Book your coaching session
Complete the booking for the weekly coaching session you'd like to attend.

2. Your booking will initially go onto a waiting list
Don't worry if your booking shows as “waiting list”. This does not mean the group is full or that you have been unsuccessful. It simply allows us to check your subscription before confirming your place.

3. Set up your Adult Coaching Subscription
Set up the subscription that matches the number of weekly sessions you will attend.

4. We'll confirm your place
Once we have checked your booking and confirmed that the correct subscription is active, we'll move you from the waiting list to an active booking. You'll then receive a confirmation email confirming your place.

Discounts

Multiple-Session Discounts
If you attend more than one eligible coaching session each week, additional discounts may apply. Simply book all the sessions you would like to attend. When you set up your subscription, the applicable additional-session discount will be applied automatically.

Family Discounts
Each adult must make their own booking through their individual account. If a second adult from the same family is joining weekly coaching, please contact us before setting up their subscription so we can arrange the family discount.

The first subscription invoice will be taken at the standard rate. Once we have checked the additional family booking, the relevant direct discount will be applied to future subscription invoices.

Blue Light Card, Local Primary School Staff & YouMove Discounts
If you are eligible for a Blue Light Card, local primary school staff or YouMove discount, please complete the relevant discount application form before setting up your subscription. Once submitted you will be redirected to the discounted subscription for eligible adults

Prefer Pay & Play?

If you'd rather not commit to a monthly subscription, Pay & Play is still available on eligible adult sessions.

Simply book through the relevant Pay & Play activity instead.

Important – Your Coaching Place

Booking this activity alone does not confirm your weekly place.

Your place is only confirmed once the correct Adult Coaching Subscription is active and you have received your booking confirmation email from Excel Tennis Academy.
