Coaching
Falkland Tennis Club takes a stongly positive approach to coaching, aiming to provide
coaching opportunities at all ages and levels of ability. Our approach is to adopt a long term
relationship with one or more qualified tennis coaches, and operating within the framework
of a carefully thought out coaching policy.
JuniorsJunior coaching is provided through the Easter and summer weeks. The sessions are graded by ability. In addition, throughout most of the playing season, after school, Wednesday afternoon junior coaching is available.Further to officially organised coaching, on most saturday mornings throughout the playing season, parents organise Saturday morning social tennis sessions

Adults
We continue to offer adult Thursday evening floodlit winter coaching. There is a strong element of ability grading. We have run the adult coaching sessions for several years, and it is undoubtedly evident that these sessions have significantly contributed to the overall standard of tennis at the club.Teams
A recent innovation was the introduction of team coaching. These sessions focus on team play, pairings, court positioning, and generally aiming at levering maximum team performance.Private Coaching
As part of the club coaching policy, private coaching takes place, where individuals wish to
further their capabilities. This is an effective way forward, and gives the coach the opportunity
to focus on aspects that require strengthening.
