MDL Coaching
MDL Coaching was established in 2002 and has been providing tennis coaching to adults and children of all ages and standards of play. All sessions are geared up to be FUN, CHALLENGING, PROGRESSIVE, COMPETITIVE & A GREAT WAY TO MEET NEW FRIENDS.
We encourage all of our older junior tennis players to help out with our tennis programmes including our disability sessions which are hugely rewarding. We also encourage our older juniors to join in with adult club sessions and team practice.
Adult Coaching
Adults: coaching for anyone new to the game, for players of all standards and for those who want to recap with a few tips so they can play better.
