The clubs have been working in partnership with Broxtowe Borough Council's Sports Development Officer to enhance these programmes.
Young children can begin to learn racquet and ball skills in the 'mini's' coaching sessions.
The older children can take part in 'starter' tennis coaching, learning their skills through the game of short tennis. An 'advanced' coaching option is available for those children who show the ability and enthusiasm. To help develop potential County and above players, a targeted programme is also run to enable small groups of players to work more intensely on improving their game. The number of these special groups is growing in order to accommodate the increasing number of talented players moving through the coaching system. To complement the tennis development programme the HSBC Nottinghamshire Youth Games in June provides the opportunity of competitive playing for children aged 7 to 14 years.
