Coaching at Bath Tennis Club

At Bath Lawn Tennis Club there are many opportunities to get involved with coaching at all levels and ages.

Three of Bath LTC's Junior County Champions 2007

We offer both adult and junior coaching in both group or individual lessons throughout the year with various qualified and club approved coaches. If you are a player who is new to tennis, the ideal start to your tennis career is to start with group lessons. Once you catch the tennis bug and want to commit a little more, you may wish to book some individual lessons with one of our coaches. Then, once you feel ready and confident, you are able to join in with full club play.
